Media+Attention

=Media Attention= I get so tired of hearing the media take "stories" and twist them into controversy. It seems like they are always out to take an ice cream cone and turn it into a hamburger. This may seem difficult to accomplish, but they succeed on a regular basis.

Recently, Saints defensive coordinator Greg Williams has come under fire from the media because of comments Williams made about putting pressure on Colts quarterback Payton Manning. Williams said, "When we do get to him, we're going to make sure we have a couple of 'remember me' shots when we get there," Williams told 104.5 The Zone in Nashville. "Great defenses have to be feared."

I think Williams is trying to say that in order for the Saints to be successful against a future hall of fame quarterback, they must pressure him into making mistakes. A quarterback has to be reminded (with a hit from time to time) of the fact that he does not have all day to sit back in the pocket and make plays. The media, however, takes these comments to mean that the Saints defense is out to hurt Manning and remove him from the game with an injury. How ridiculous is that? Once again, the media has made hamburgers out of ice cream and I'm sure we will have to continue to hear them rant about such nonsense for some time to come. Last time I checked, hitting the quarterback is still legal!!! Who Dat!!
