Shut Up, Dave Hutchinson

Remember earlier in the week when the Saints curiously denied New York/New Jersey media interview requests for Drew Brees, Jonathan Vilma, Jeremy Shockey, Reggie Bush and Marques Colston. Instead, the team made Darren Sharper available to answer questions. But to at least one member of the media, that wasn't good enough.

Dave Hutchinson, of the New Jersey Star Ledger, took it as a slap in the face. Apparently, Darren Sharper just wasn't high-profile enough for him. 

Each week, we usually get the opposing quarterback on a conference call on Wednesdays or another high-profile star on the team. But this week, the Saints turned down requests from media members covering the Jets for five players; they finally said 'yes' to safety Darren Sharper. Nevermind, guys...As I said, we ended up with Sharper and personally, I'd rather them just cancel the call. I'm sure Sharper is a nice guy and all but ...    

But what? You'd rather talk to a player that you think is going to make a difference during the game? Think again, Dave.

Whole heartedly agree

Apparently Brady is back to being the savior of the world Universe according to ESPN

"Polamalu’s lineage can be traced through several roots. Chuck Norris mated with an Amazon Queen, and on the other side, Tony Hawk mated with Mother Nature.

The two children of these spawned and fused in a tantric love session to create Troy Polamalu. The mother however died as he tore through the birth canal with a spin move."

love it

“When I caught it, I kind of stopped and just started running real slow because I wanted to see what was around me,” Sharper said. “Then I said, ‘Why don’t I turn on the speed a little bit to show people I can still run.”

NY media

they’re all just loudmouth talking heads looking to stir the pot because they lack skills are actual journalist who will do the best with any story they get, besides what the hell did they expect to get from those other guys? cookie cutter peytonisms, that’s it.

i wonder

if they believe Sharper now, he said he saw something in Sanchez to know where the ball was and Tom Jackson said he was full of it. Guess he saw it after all….. twice.

by J Rock on Oct 4, 2009 10:52 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Jackson said that?

He should know better…he was a player, for God’s sake. Doesn’t he understand it’s a free safety’s job to scout the opposing quarterback?

You have to remember...

when Tom played, all they had were polaroids, so pregame preparation was different

I love

that Sharper had another big game. I believe he now leads the league in interceptions and interceptions returned for TDs as well as probably the longest defensive TD..

Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!

our d is for real

and sharper has been the superstar of the first quarter of the season

by jful on Oct 4, 2009 10:56 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Also..

Both Charles Grant and Will Smith had 2 sacks today, those guys are really stepping it up.

I am going to officially retire the Powderpuffs label from them.

also

zero points allowed in the 4th quarter. defense is shuting opponents down when it matters most

Mr Saintsational

Good call here, posting this. Well deserved. At least the Jets fans seemed, although confident, not as trash talking and arrogant as “other teams.” (or so it seemed to me). But their media is totally obnoxious.

What a ...

douchebag. I’m glad Sharper made him eat crow. Sharper outta call him up and get another interview. Maybe he could ask him how he felt running back that 99 yd pick.

Will this be the year I finally get to pop this cork?

Big Shot Dave?

I guess Dave Hutchinson is one of those sports writers who thinks he is more important than the story. You’re “sure Sharper is a nice guy” ? Well, aren’t you a condecending lil’ $h!#.

The Jets lost and Sharper was a star. I guess that makes him a very nice guy, huh?
