NGT: Wentz Interview Controversy

Strahan91 : 8/12/2022 6:33 pm
Yesterday a reporter asked Wentz some difficult questions, he asked about the reviews of his performance in camp and the fact that Philly and Indy didn’t want him any longer. To his credit, he handled it well. Shouldn’t be a big deal except for the fact that the team’s President is livid about it and if you ask me is making a fool of himself and the organization.

Quote:
In a tweet posted on Thursday, Wright called Scott Abraham, who covers the Commanders for 7News D.C., a “pompous, unprofessional mess” and included a clip of the interview.

“Thankfully, Carson demonstrated grace & class in response to this pompous, unprofessional mess,” Wright wrote. “I recognize you have made a living on childlike provocation but it needs to be called out,” Wright tweeted. “Don’t expect special access and good luck building rapport with the guys @Scott7news.”

Thread title is a bit misleading...

This isn't a Wentz controversy. It's an issue with Jason Wright and the news reporter.

It’s a controversy stemming from a Wentz interview. I don’t see how that’s misleading?
Agreed.

It doesn't say Wentz Controversy. It says Wentz Interview Controversy.

Not a big deal, but on second thought, I agree.
Even for Washington, this year has been a total dumpster

just sucks
I have been in that situation as an interviewer.

You ask questions that aren't puff-balls, the subject answers them gracefully, then afterwards people are mad at you. What's the big deal if Wentz isn't mad? Or even if he is?

I once was scheduled to interview a movie star onstage at a film festival. Asked their publicist if anything was off-limits. Publicist said no, ask whatever you want. Movie star said something onstage about having been bad at times. I gently asked about how they were doing, referring to their recovery. They answered quickly and gracefully and moved on.

Apparently the star was livid afterwards and I got fired from my role at the film festival. Which is kind of a drag because I can't watch their work anymore without thinking of that BS. But I was like, I asked if anything was off limits, and was told "no." But once a star is mad, everybody caters to them.
I watched part of the interview

It wasn't that the questions weren't puff pieces. The interviewer was a dick. You can ask tough questions without being an asshole.
Yeah. But it’s Washington

I'm guessing you didn't interview Mike Tyson?
Sad thing
