Some of our beat writers are terrible

I know Lapham is beloved around here, but can he possibly throw any more softballs to players in the locker room?

The rest?  All looking for a controversy where there aren't any.  Recent examples...

-asking Mixon if he supports Perine....(seriously?  how stupid is that?)
-asking Higgins if he will accept a reduced roll since Chase is back?
-asking Wilcox if he's glad to get an expanded roll as a TE now that Hurst is out?

Asking Joe B....
-are you comparable to Manning or Brady?  (answer..."I'm Joe)
-are you as good as you can possibly be?  (answer..."no")
-are you out partying during your off time?  (answer..."I watch tape and TV and workout")
-who do you like throwing to more?  (answer...."we have great receivers")



Burrow has learned that the more stock the answer, the less the media has to churn...like they did with the watches he gave out last year "only" being Casios, or if his "bling" was real.  Stupid questions.  Unfortunately, he has to duck them now instead of just being who he really is because of stupid questions.

All the answers above are paraphrased, but the jest is the same.  All trying to get players to diss on their other team mates.

I like Lap on the radio but can't stand him as an interviewer. He asks some dumbaaaaaass questions. I think the players get annoyed to shit with him. 

I remember one time a couple years ago (when the Bengals had like 2 wins the season) he asked ZT how his kids were fairing in school with all the losing going on. I was like....did he seriously just ask that?
