no need to throw insults out, old chap.. Just trying to help you out..

if your initial point was to show people a video, rather than direct them to an article which shows up text before the video starts playing, then why not say in your original post:

'hey guys, check out this great video available at this link, don't worry about the article which provides further reading, context and a quick summary of the video for those of you who don't want to waste bandwith on something that isn't as funny as i think it is..'

Give it a rest. I will reluctantly take your advice and quote the article, however.

For the record, this bloke is as big of a shit kaarnt as Durryius. Perhaps even more so. Atleast he put Weidler in his place, but never before have I seen a bloke more on himself. Thinks he is a world sporting superstar when he is a slightly-above average Souths player. A real joker.

That's just what he is. I wouldn't take his comments here seriously, it's clearly all in good spirit. He likes to play with the media sometimes. He did a similar thing at the Nine's pre-tournmanent. He is playing an arrogant role for a laugh and it worked.

I hate it when people say shit like this...

A guy goes well in interview, makes it a bit of fun and has the 'self deprecating' thing down to a science.

But, nope. This guy wants to be and is trying to be entertaining (he works in the entertainment industry for christ sake), therefore he is up himself and should shut up...

It's not just the interview that irks me about T'eo. The way he is exiting the game because of how the media has treated him poorly is a major contributor to my opinion on him.

meh, the difference is the last time was proper set up interview sanctioned by the club. This was on the street in his own time.

Pretty funny when she didnt have any other questions, and Darius says- "what, you lost for words"

I hate to agree with you but I do. Reporters think they have a right to stick a microphone in peoples faces and get something back. Well everyone criticising him, you don't have that right. Stop being princesses about it.

Personally had no problems with Boyd's presser in 2009. Can't recall exactly what had happened beforehand, but at that stage the media - principally Slothfield's motley crew - had been hammering the Dragons, to the point of making shit up to have a headline.

This reaction to questions about Bennett's departure slightly echo similarish questions put to Soward after the 2010 grand final, where Soward replied in similar words about being given the chance to enjoy the win & not be brought down by (at the time) baseless negative speculation.

Either way, beats the hell out of meathead "I fought we dun orright" responses.

Darius is a wanker no doubt, but.....

What's the point of an 'interview' if you don't get to say what you want?

People bag players for talking in clichés. But when they don't, they get hammered for it. Can you blame them?

I have no love for Boyd whatsoever, but I don't think he did anything wrong on this occasion.

It wasn't a proper media interview, he was just stalked by some amateur muck-raking journo in a car park.

The questioning was rubbish and got the answers it deserved.

Good on him. He's just trying to pack up and get out of the hotel in his own time and someone decides without asking permission to do an interview. Quite within his rights to tell them to piss off if he wants to.

no doubt chewbecca wilson will pen an article rubbishing player behavior.

and then drive off over the legal blood alcohol limit.

journalists were once a necessary irritant of the code - 90% of them are now leprosy of the code.
