Interview of Al Etter:
Do you think Anderson should have been more into the game?
I feel that when youre down 25 points in the 4th quarter, how into the game can you really still be? I think that this wasn't a case of not being into the game, but just needing stress relief from an absolute beatdown.
Do you feel like he could have handled the press conference differently?
Yes, he definately could have handled it better. All he needed to say was, yeah, I laughed, sometimes you have to to keep from crying in that situation, or something to that effect, and it would have been squashed, and then if the reporter continued to heckle him, then go off. At least then it would have been justified.
How would you have handled the conference?
Exactly how I said above.
I agree, he absolutely could have handled the situation better. He seemed in the interview to be at a loss for words and found himself in a situation where he didn't want to look stupid, and instead tried to impose that upon the reporter. Unfortunately, he only looked worse, freaking out in a fit of rage without actually admitting to wrong doing. It would have been nice to see him admit to his mistake, but I guess you can't blame the guy considering how embarrassing the Cardinals have become since being in the Super Bowl just a short time ago.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what was said on how to handle the press conference. The whole situation could have been avoided if Derek Anderson didn't take the reporters question to heart. He just made an observation on what was going on.
