Ricky Williams on the media

Fascinating take

Coaches. Teammates. Even locker-room attendants intent on doing their best job. Then he thought of a group that he thinks detracts from that. Us in the media. It isn’t the intrusive nature of our job, he said.

“It’s the fact they don’t work as hard at what they do as we work at what we do,’’ he said.

The questions? “Superficial,’’ he said.

The storylines? “When I’m told what they want to talk about, I often think, ‘Are you really going to write that?’ ’’

The expectation? “People come with pre-conceived ideas of what I should say, like I’m just filling in some quotes of a story they already have instead of listening to what I have to say. ”
