    Nah, that'd be Hammond. Unlike Dick, Hammond runs away from his fuck-ups.

    Where are these "media" losing their minds? Everything I've seen has been pretty subdued.

    Do they not have talk radio where you live? They've been whining about it nonstop here.

    The takes are so hot I need oven mitts.

    Oh. The only talk radio I listen to, on occasion, is Dan Patrick. He didn't talk about it a ton in the little I listened to.

    Surely you've heard of Deion Sanders, then?

    Some of those guys are barely media.

    Did he really lose his mind? Or did he just say it was a bad look, unprofessional and childish?

    I'm not going to debate the semantics of a meme meant for Facebook, but there has been a collective overreaction in "The Media," no doubt.

    But if you're not convinced by the examples you've been given, a hundred more won't do it either.

    All right. I just don't see the over reaction.

    I see a bunch of people criticizing him for something he should be criticized for.

    That doesn't mean he's a bad person, even though he could be. He just showed his immaturity.

    But if you're going to go out of your way to talk about "your image" and why people don't like you, I think a little criticism is in order after that performance.
