I get the whole argument about these guys not playing for the media. Sure, answering questions might be annoying and maybe they shouldn't have to be obligated to do it.
Idk, maybe there's a happy medium to this whole thing. But I lose respect for guys who do this. I won't root against him now and don't think he's a bad person or anything, but come the frick on.
Fan interest and excitement is the only reason why professional athletes get paid the way they do. I was NOWHERE near successful enough to be on the level of these guys and my career was nothing but an absolute failure, but god damn if I'm not thankful for everything I've had. And 90% of it was due to the fact that people cared about what I was doing.
Act like you care Russ

Don't think you can ever doubt how much Russ cares.

What does it matter? The only time these things are even notable is when something like this happens.

It doesn't matter what we do for a living, but imagine after every shift, we had to field questions from the same 10-20 guys. We would all eventually dislike some of these guys and after doing it day after day, we would probably all have some sort of setback at some point.
