If any Bengal fans are interested and have not seen the interview with ESPN, here it is.
Some of my thoughts....
His explanation for the speeding ticket says a lot. For a guy who bitches about Ben getting special treatment, he's actually pissed that the police didn't give him special treatment. His words: "I'm a Pittsburgh Steeler driving around in Pittsburgh......I know a lot of these guys. I do charity work with them." He was just "going to work." Not one shred of regret or one ounce of responsibility for driving 2 and one half times the posted speed limit.
When asked if he's bears any responsibility for how things have gone, he says "no, Im just telling the truth." Not even a "Yeah, I could have communicated with Coach Tomlin better. I should have at least called him myself on Sunday morning."
Claims that he doesn't want attention. Lol, coming from a guy with a blonde mustache, yellow and blue thingies in his hair, and who facebook live'd from the locker room and received MULTIPLE personal foul penalties for excess celebration 2 years ago.
The man has ZERO self awareness.
He said that the media is trying to make a big deal about him missing a court date. That it just wasn't important to him. Seriously? It's a freaking court date. If it weren't for a speeding ticket, there would be a warrant out for his arrest. And if it isn't a big deal, then why did you request it? (In Pa you either pay the fine or request court to plead your case....probably the same in Ohio and everywhere else)
Also regarding special treatment, he said that wherever he goes that it is "his way or I ain't playing." Wow. Not only does that decrease your value, it's saying that I want special treatment or Im taking my ball and going home.
And most strangely and Im not sure how many others noticed it, but the dudes demeanor changes within seconds. He goes from that bright smile and wide eyes, to scowl and back again with scary quickness. Noticed that he talked about Ben and with the wide eyes and smile said that it wasn't personal and that he likes criticism. It makes him better. Then IMMEDIATELY the scowl and death stare comes out and starts talking about how he thought that they were close and Ben was on his side, but when you're on his side you shouldn't throw him under the bus. Then....bam, back to wide eyed and smiling AB.
^^^^^
That is straight up psycho shit right there. A deranged person who could snap and the drop of a hat. And he didn't just become this way. Imagine what it had to be like inside that locker room, tiptoeing around his ego and walking on eggshells hoping that he doesn't snap.
Anyway here goes.......
