I got to be honest, I hate this story. I just hate absolutely everything about this story. From a reporter being forced into coming off as a tattle-tale by doing his job, to the player - who took reporting as snitching, for some reason - acting like an internet tough guy in response to news that he created by running away from his responsibilities. There are no winners here, and that includes me, who feels like a loser for even commenting on this petty, meaningless nonsense. All that being said, in a case in which manhood is being questioned, I feel as though someone needs to provide the answer as to which balls really need dropping. Unfortunately, that answer is not kind to someone who has been notoriously distant with the media since a lot more was made of his divisive departure from New Orleans than necessary. As much I can understand why speaking to reporters can be a thankless chore in which your words can be used against you without context (and Jimmy Graham's, right or wrong, have been in the past), you can't talk about the state of another man's testicles after spending two months tucking yours and silently scuttling away. The truth is, nothing Rob Demovsky said about the Packers' tight end was defamatory. It was nothing more than facts of a matter that was created by the continued evasiveness of someone who didn't have the fortitude to say anything of note until he got behind the safety of a screen. If we're talking scrotums, those aren't exactly the actions of someone who is long enough in the shorts to be breaking out the tape measure on the groins of the grown men whose job he's actively made more difficult.
