It is a stupid question to ask though. So you aren't allowed to laugh or smile when you're losing bad? That's the time that you need that.

OMG a player smiled when they were losing, he obviously doesn't care. It's a joke that the NFL forces these players to do post-game conferences. You then have a guy like Steve Johnson, who probably already hates his life having to play on the Bills, and make him feel even shittier for a mistake he knows he made.

I wish they could show the people who were asking the questions and realize they have never played anything form of organized sports outside of the YMCA leagues

I agree with this

DA is going to eventually lose his job anyway... media apologists will say his meltdown represents why he wasn't a leader yada yada... and it'll be impossible to dispute because he was already not playing well enough to keep his job and help his team win

There is a kinda sick aspect to these questions tho... when you ask a question like that you take a moment out of context and then destroy the player... The issue is they lost... not that someone told a joke in the middle of a shitty situation

I'm sure the reporter wouldn't or doesn't like having his mistakes repeatedly obsessed over publicly

David Carr did that all the time when he was with the Texans. He had his millions from being the first pick in the NFL draft and never cared.

Honestly, when you are literally running for your life on every single play, I don't know how you can take games seriously.

That is one stupid reporter. For several reasons. Dumb question and ignorant that he wouldn't let it go.

Who cares if in the midst of an arse kicking the guy for some reason chuckled at something we don't know the context of. People deal with adversity differently. People on their death beds sometime find time to laugh. Let it go dumb reporter.
