This is SO taken out of context (the "butchering" line). He says that as he is laughing and joking with the press, and the reporters are laughing with him throughout the presser. Not to mention that Sean says all the right things about being a Redskin, working with his teammates, etc. Wow. No wonder these guys don't like to talk to the press!

The "butchering" line is what I beleive the writer took offense too. It was "In his view" an indirect slap at the media based on his past dealings with them. They recognize the fact he does not have a fondness for the media, and any remark that seems in any way derogative they exploit as being biased. I therefore I agree with your asessment that's the reason why so many players do not like to talk to the press. I've been convinced for a long time that that is the reason Art Monk is not in the HOF.
