So Shanny told Rod not to come back... - The Orange Mane

rovolution · 08-13-2007, 11:12 PM

any comments?

Dagmar · 08-13-2007, 11:17 PM

I think Shanny offered him an out, not told him not to come back. Shanny is the boss, if he "told" him not to come back, I doubt he'd be back.

ksBRONCOfan · 08-13-2007, 11:18 PM

I think he just wanted to let Rod know he didn't need too.

What about the chick calling Darrent Williams, "Darrent Smith"?

Bronco Bob · 08-13-2007, 11:18 PM

I'll need to see more, such as what was the context is was said in.
Still on the face of it, it looks rather cold on Shanahan's part.

theAPAOps5 · 08-13-2007, 11:19 PM

His hip is really taking a while to come back, he has lost a step, and sometimes you have to be told to hang it up because you can't tell yourself. That being sad Coach also told him if he so chooses there is a spot for him if he is ready to come back.

That was pathetic but Tafoya is not what I would call a chick. I wish he would have correcter her ass on live TV. Say something like, "Excuse me, before we go any further it is Darrent Williams not Darrent Smith. If you wish to speak his name then speak it right, until then run along and educate yourself."

and she followed that with "lamosine" or something like that?

theAPAOps5 · 08-13-2007, 11:33 PM

Maybe I am being to harsh but that is a bad slip up when you are talking to a teammate of his and who was close to all involved.

2KBack · 08-13-2007, 11:34 PM

I wouldn't trust any of the info they were handing out tonight. Not only dud that reporter get Darrents name wrong, but the title under the interview called Rod a 2-time pro-bowler (he has been there 3 times) and earlier in the broadcast it list Crowder as a rookie from florida.

Seems a bit harsh for a simple faux pas, doesn't it?

I would have corrected her, but I believe I would have done it gently and courteously.

Yeah but you didn't know DWill like Rod and the team did. If you are going to report on it do it right.

BroncoBuff · 08-13-2007, 11:50 PM

Whatever happened to that super-attractive blonde who did MNF sidelines 3 or 4 years back?

She was excellent ....

True. Neither did she. That's the point. I would have cut her a little slack for that very reason.

I believe that too... you are a true gentleman and someone who should definately be interviewed in the future on the sideline of a NFL game. I really hope you can be more involved in the sideline interviews and i appreciate all you have done for the denver broncos.

you are truly the "top scribe"

Blueflame · 08-13-2007, 11:54 PM

Y'know, it's not like Darrent's murder wasn't front-page news for quite a while there.... if she was going to discuss the topic with Rod, she should have gotten his name right. And it would be a nice gesture if ESPN issued an apology to Darrent's family and friends.

The whole ESPN broadcast was unprofessional, imho... the broadcast-booth chatter about unrelated, irrelevant stuff while the game was being played gave the impression that ESPN perceived the game as a mere afterthought and not the primary reason viewers had turned on their TVs. If we wanted to watch a talk show, we'd tune in to PTI instead of the game.

cabronco · 08-13-2007, 11:55 PM

I noticed when she was interviewing Rod , it seemed like Rod had a hard time hearing everything she was saying , because the crowd noise kept getting loud from the niners converting big plays. I think otherwise if Smith did hear what she said, I believe Rod would of corrected her right then. JMHO.

theAPAOps5 · 08-13-2007, 11:56 PM

Yeah you are probably right. They spent a lot of time talking about it at the start of the game. I thought she would at least have the name down pat but then again its easy to say the name of the person you are talking to when refering to another player. So I guess I am being too hard. Its like the new 9news weather girl. Her name is Becky Ditchfield but I am waiting for the day they call her Decky b****field. People slip that up all the time.

Arkansas Bronco · 08-14-2007, 12:00 AM

Nothing is for sure off this interview cause of the crowd and noise but if in fact he cant come back I think we have a good coach ready to go. Rod is a bronc from the start.

ZONA · 08-14-2007, 12:03 AM

Tafoya just goofed on the name, I'm sure she didn't mean to. Some of you sound like you want to stone her or something.

Back to the point of the thread - I tell ya, Rod may not make this team as a player but you could tell from how he talked and what he said about Javon, he's the real deal when it comes to a leader. He spoke about his love for the Broncos even after he's not playing anymore. He NEEDS to be coaching for us if he won't make it on the 53 man roster. PERIOD!!!

Casper Bronco · 08-14-2007, 12:08 AM

You guys are being rediculous. She slipped up using Rod Smith's last name with Darrent. I'm sure everybody on here can't speak english at least once a day. Maybe they should fire her!

Edit! Hell, I can't even spell ridiculous.

Dr. Broncenstein · 08-14-2007, 12:09 AM

Since we're on the subject of crappy coverage:

Did anyone else see the brief flash of a blank computer-generated player profile? It had a place for a picture and "name, last name." Don't know why, but I found that to be quite amusing.

I hear what you are saying, but this was crucial. This is one of the spots where as a professional: You cannot fail.

Melissa Starks got knocked up and did the family thing. She wasn't nearly as hot in person.

Its the template they use to flash player information.

Everything on there was a variable that a program inserts the proper player info into. You should never see it.
