Baker Mayfield has heated exchange with reporter and walks out

Exactly, I fail to understand why teams continue to force players into these confrontational rooms with a bunch of twits trying to make a name and increase their own twitter following. The pressers are an antiquated part of the social media era. We don't need reporters to tell us what somebody said anymore.

I actually think it is the NFL that forces them isn't it? If I remember correctly that is who used to fine Marshawn all the time lol.

Those question would irritate me as well. If only people could hear me on the phone when I get asked dumb questions about work related crap lol.

I've always wondered who gets to choose which player(s) have to go into the press room. Does the NFL say "Marshawn has to go talk to the press" ??? If it was up to the coach, why send the long snapper?

I seem to remember during the Lynch thing that every player had a minimum amount of press they had to do. I just read part of the current Media Access Policy and I honestly don't know how they get any work done with the amount of time the press has access to them and the locker room.
