    Anyone have the feeling Popovich will die soon after Duncan retires?

    Pop is regaled for being a jackass, yet "both teams played hard" (which was hilarious BTW) got Sheed fined?

    Complete arrogance. He can get by with it because he is Gregg Poppavich. And he is something!

    Just ask him.

    Yes, it's hard for the poor reporters, and he's being rude. BUT:
    1. The reporters get to be in a viral video, and they're on TV because they want to be seen
    2. The whole business is completely pointless and asinine - nobody really gives a shit - and Poppovich is helping to make that obvious
    3. At this point the reporters are probably trying to craft their questions to be especially vacuous just to bait him.

    So here's my take - it's assumed to be funny when Pop does it - but when Marshawn Lynch doesn't want to be interviewed, he's completely unprofessional?

    or when Tom Brady cusses out his teammates he's just passionate. When Sherman calls out Crabtree he's a thug.

    Yet EVERY person in this forum would LOVE to have him as our coach. I'd trade him for Stotts in a heartbeat. He would make LA so much better.

    I believe that "We're behind" is Latvian for "Fuck off".

    I could be wrong about that.

    I gotta admit interviewing coaches in the middle of a game is bullshit.

    I'm a niner fan and I could honestly give a shit about anything Seattle players said. I'm more worried about poor bowman's knee, words don't hurt, broken knees do.

    That said I love when coaches/players are dicks to the media. Probably why sheed is my favorite player all time.

    most definitely. if they want to interview anyone make it an injured player or someone not actively involved in the game. CJ would have been a great interview when he was injured.
