I personally think he eats this up and likes the attention.

If he did that, then the story line is that RG3 hates Shanny and the only solution is to fire Shanny. If you win championships, you can get away with that (Belichek/Brady or Popovich/Duncan) but otherwise you will be blasted for doing that. The media doesnt like that Belichek or Popovich do that, but they cant go off on them because they win and dont get into a lot of trouble. The media would look like fools for attacking them.

I personally think people need to stop trying to neuter him. If interviews are the worst thing he does, im good with that. He is not out drinking and driving or causing trouble. As Redskins fans, we arent used to the media clamoring over one of our guys. So what if he eats it up, that just allows people like Alfred to just be Alfred.
