Randy Moss = no class

[thecooleyzone]

I am very glad that the post has generated as much interest as it has. In my earlier comments in this thread I wasn't telling anyone what to say or where to say it. I was just inviting criticism to my personal email. If you have a problem or would like to see something different on thecooleyzone please let us know. It is purely there for your entertainment.

To answer the statements that I was saying I was Cooley's brother prior to asking for the interview, WTF else would I say? If I worked for the Washington Post, I would say "I'm TC from the Washington Post." I was just letting Moss know who I was and where the interview would go. Its how most interviews begin. I work for Chris and write for his site.

Also, I never said Moss owed me anything. He didn't. He just didn't need to act the way he did and I stated the facts of what happened because I thought it was blog worthy. Do I expect everyone I try to interview to be open with me? No. Do I expect everyone to be nice? No. But Moss turned this into a topic by saying what he said. Had he said "No comment" or even "No interviews tonight man" that would have been the end of it.

My best guess is Belichek has a very strict media policy. In fact, I'm 95% sure he won't even let his assistant coaches talk tot he media. That's a team thing. I guess it's hard to stay gracious when you have people trying to talk to you every minute of every day. I'd love to say I'd have a better attitiude, but catch me on the wrong day and Im sure I'd react the same, if not worse than Moss.

From BB

"We may have more players on regularly scheduled radio, internet, and TV shows during the week than any other team in the NFL. I meet with the media six times per week, in addition to a weekly post-game radio show, pre-game radio show and mid-week TV show. And all through the spring, we make players available to the media. There is no shortage of ways for fans to connect with the Patriots."

I don't see anything about post-game locker room interviews with players.

Same here, in fact the speech sounded like a way to justify limiting access to players, by stressing all the time they do make them available.

Even the phrase "make them available" has a certain implication that at other times, they are NOT available.
