“That’s my brother, that’s a kin,” Norman said, “Like I understand where he’s coming from. He’s going to get his when his time comes. He’s a great quarterback. All these guys that we play are.
“I just wish that media would respect that and understand and don’t try to twist people. … It just really sucks when that happens.”
Norman continued, slamming one reporter in particular.
While he acknowledged there are good reporters who he respects, he compared certain media members to “spoiled, rotten apples that come from hell.”
“I really wish that [reporter] would come and have a conversation with me about it, because that’s the whole reason why athletes, entertainers don’t want to [expletive] with you guys,” Norman said, via USA Today. “Just to be 100 with you, it’s no need.
“I understand where he’s coming from. He’s going to get his, when his time comes. He’s a great quarterback. All these guys that we play are. I just wish media would respect that and understand, and don’t try to twist people when [it’s] their best opportunity and chance to get out there.”
“There are good reporters that actually come here and do the job they’re supposed to do, hold their head high and you respect them,” he continued. “But it’s those sour apples, man, that make y’all’s job suck. It really is. And it’s sad. It really is sad.”
At the end of his postgame scrum, Redskins CB Josh Norman spent nearly 3 minutes talking about the media.
Norman said there are good reporters that he respects, but also bad ones, whom he called “spoiled, rotten apples that come from hell.”
