Solid misuse of "Ad Hominem" bro.

Talking to the media isn't a necessary condition to being a leader. Which is what you stated. That's what I was getting at. Not talking to the media for a week or two doesn't automatically make him a questionable leader. You don't know dick about what goes on behind the scenes (neither do I), so stop making blanket assumptions about Bregman because of this.
Larry Bird didnt talk to the media for shite. Magic Johnson talked to the media any damn time he felt a fart coming on. Point is, there are many different types of leaders. But Broski knows whats best

Then stop arguing so vehemently as if my opinion is so off base. Like you stated, we both have no idea what the real issue, your opinion just happens to be on the other end of the spectrum.

You really need to calm down.

Your opinion is 100% wrong. A leader does not have to speak to the media. And that is a fact, not an opinion

Eta: Im not trying to be rude, but there is no defined terms to being a leader in all types of situations. So to say one "has" to do anything is just point blank false

I agree.

I agree.

With all that said, it is also the right for the public (and the media) to speculate.

Lets say Bregman keep slumping this weekend, but because he won't talk, the only thing that the Rosetta's and the Guilbeau's can do is write a bunch of Op Ed's that could possibly hurt Bregman even more since he won't be able to have his say.

I know Alex personally and the kid is a leader. Him not talking to the media will not change this.

Laugh all you want, but to say someone has to speak with the media to be a leader is 100% false.

Leader, not a leader, it is all irrelevant to me.

It takes five minutes to speak with the media. Five minutes. What happens in that five minutes has nothing to do with how Bregman performs on the field or at the plate.

If you go an read some of the other tweets from Rosetta, it seems like PM may have had more to do with this decision that Bregman.

I think it's part of it, you don't.

But I'm 100% wrong and you're 100% right.

Got it.

I'm extremely calm. Using strong words doesn't mean I'm "mad" or whatever.

If I had to do an interview I would tell Guilbeau to go F himself.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is all Mainieri's doing, just to try and take some of the pressure off.

Good. I like Bregman and he's a great ambassador to LSU, but sometimes it feels like he comes on too strong and I'm sure that burdens the team chemistry. He's a great talent and seems like a great guy but I could imagine as a hypothetical teammate being a little overwhelmed

Well, I guess you can. You're coming off pretty dumb and reactionary by doing so, but it's cool.

Because it's rooted purely in speculation.

Of course I don't, but you don't see me spouting off about it and questioning him and calling it a "bitch move" and such, nor do you see me proclaiming him to be a perfectly amazing leader. That said, I do know the caliber of worker he is. Many leaders lead by example.

I dont disagree with this. I also dont know Bregman at all. The dude may be the worst leader of all time, he may be the best leader of all time. All i know is that putting a definite hardline specific example of what it takes to be a leader(ie talking to the media) is crazy.
