Mok, of course I read the quotes. I just don't see the petty undertone in them that you seem to see. What I see is Bulger and Martz answering reporter-initiated questions about how Marc is different from Kurt in a number of details. I don't see this as a jab at Kurt, but I see it as trying to elaborate on how Bulger's approach differs. I agree that Thomas could have phrased the "no disrespect to Warner" statement differently, but outside of that, I don't think there's anything that's

Anyways, you're taking Marc's comments about not seeking out autograph opportunities after every team function as if it's him being an asshole, but the article makes it sound as if he's just doing what the rest of the team is... does that make them all anti-fan as well? It seems to me all Bulger is saying is that he's going to be more like the rest of the team. You make a comment about him not being a QB for the fans, despite the fact that Bulger joined Randy Moss in Charleston, WV, to sign autographs for children at a local event. Were you aware of that? Probably not, since you came to the conclusion that Marc doesn't go out of his way for the fans based on one debatable quote.

The problem is that with today's coverage of sports, every comment gets blown out of the water. Like I said, I think this is the sort of misunderstanding of words as Warner experienced with his religion comments in Feb, which I'm sure he got the benefit of the doubt for at that time.

Basically I think they're referencing Warner but aren't trying to take shots at him. They're just saying how Marc's going to be different because he's a different guy. I think the exaggeration on your part comes in when you're saying their intent was to blast Kurt. I don't think that was the case at all, but if you do, so be it. That's your prerogative I guess. :confused:
