It's one thing to be sarcastic and witty, but it's another to be demeaning.

I dont mind it at all. In fact, i'd rather him control the media. In the past (before sam) the media always stired up negativity towards the Raptors, where it was a winning season or losing. I watch 'Raptors Today' often, and when it come to interviewing Sam, they ask the dumbest questions put togther, and Sam being Sam, he shuts them up and tells them that he is not interested in stirring problems when there arent any and would not discuss players role/attitude/negativity/progress/production/etc. for the public's interest of entertainment. Matters like this should be dealt priviately, it's his job to protect our team and to prevent Negative media attention. We do not have a Bad-a** player on our team ever since Oakely, But Sam is as bad as Oakely was. This way, he keeps everything in check.
