Ricky Williams Wishes the Local Media Were More Positive
1-liner, Media Gossip/Musings, NFL September 8th. 2010, 5:45pmRicky Williams: The former Heisman Trophy winner, who is winding down his NFL career, recently spoke to Dave Hyde of the Sun-Sentinel about his problems with the Miami media. “When I come out of talking with someone like John Madden, I feel good. Inspired. But so many interviews with (local media), I feel the good energy gets sucked away,” Williams said. Probably because the best ways to get ahead in journalism are 1) writing ability or 2) newsy scoops. And by “scoops” we mean actual news (trades, free agency) or creating news (mouthy player said xyz). Athletes always have something to complain about – teammates, opponents, coach, referee, fans – so the trick for journalists is to push the right button. Williams added that “the media should police ourselves.” Clearly, Williams needs to expand his mind by working blogs into his daily reading rotation. [Sun-Sentinel]

@ cap rooney and taguchi, and anybody else who just started watching SoA weekly this season. That show has classically (since its inception) been talked about the day after on this site, a la Mad Men or Lost.
So the two of you, let me know when you’ve seen it and it’s OK to talk about it, because I want to talk about it, and I want to talk about it here.

dirt, you can talk about SoA whenever you want, I was merely saying that I expect “big” shows (and Fringe, should Ndub be around) to be discussed while they’re airing around here but it can be surprising when that info just randomly appears later. As long as the first comment involves the phrase spoiler alert go to town.
