NFL Regular Season 2017 - Page 22 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Did anyone actually watch the presser? It really didn't seem bad at all. It's still an inappropriate comment, but there wasn't malice intended. The casual nature of his words are lost when its just presented on paper.

That's part of the issue, the casual nature of him saying what he said. A racist casually making a racist comment to a minority shows how twisted up their mind is.

I am a Brady fan and I still don't understand how that is not a fumble, the ball didn't squirt out of his hand bringing it back in from a pump fake, Woodson knocked it out. Sucks for the Raiders and Woodson, Woodson makes a game changing play in the playoffs and gets screwed out of it. In a Hof career how many late, game changing plays does a defensive player make, especially in the playoffs. 0-3?

His comment is massively ignorant and offensive. Guy is just consistently a piece of **** on all issues.

His response was more "wow, I've never heard a female reporter ask such an advanced question before" rather than "lol women, go back to the kitchen."

It's still sexist and bad, but not nearly as bad as the comparisons itt

Wasn't even a technical question tho was it? Was like hey X receiver seems to like being physical on routes, you like dat right?

"Its funny hearing a female talk about routes."

I mean deep down I don't give a f but at the same time you have to know you can't say that.

which a guy who's been in the national media spotlight for 8-9 years managed to fumble into lol wimmin! somehow

tbh he just seemed high af on some drug i've never tried before

he apologized for his poor word choice, which wasn't the problem
it was obv whatever the **** dum idea he was trying to express there, but ofc no one will ever make him try to explain that

Cam also did the 'if you were offended by what I said I'm sorry' thing which you use instead if 'I'm sorry I was offensive' when you don't believe what you said was actually offensive

Cam's initial gaffe was worse when watching the video than it was from just reading the transcript.

His apology was A+ aside from not actually apologizing to the reporter directly by name.

Haters gonna keep hating and his fans will accept the apology and move on. I don't think he lost any fans over this. He certainly didn't gain any fans though and some undecideds probably jumped on the hater band wagon.

People should be apologizing to Cam for being offended at absolutely nothing. People really suck at life. Stop looking for any reason to get butthurt.

I'm not butthurt, but the comment was unnecessary, coming from one who sticks foot in mouth often.

That said, the comment has been obviously overblown, when in addition to the media, forums are debating it

LOL the kicker could've ended that 40 yards sooner if he didn't suck at life.

“If guys would do their job, catch the ball, block the right guys, give the quarterback a chance to do something,” Gase said after the game, the offense would be fine.

“Jay’s way down on the list of things going wrong,” the coach added.

The Dolphins know Cutler isn’t to blame. They say they are certain of it.

They know it’s not Jay Cutler’s fault.

Gase is ****ing clueless. 12-26. 92 yards w an int. He's led 2 td drives this year. I'm not counting the one that they scored a td with no time on the clock down 20-0.
