Another crack in the dam. I'm hoping the dam breaks sooner rather than later.
"It comes with the position of playing the position of QB at the University of Alabama, for the rest of your life and however long your career lasts in football and then after football, people are going to want to hear what you have to say about the university," McCarron said. "And sometimes that' going to be taken out of context and blown up more (than) what it was actually intended for. And that's the bad side of media and the for the guy that first wrote the article, I mean, that's his job. The negative attracts people to click on the article and read it more then it goes from there."Now his name is all over the place, so it helps sell their product, but it's tough sitting there when I felt like I've been a big supporter of this year's team, not only this year's team, but Blake Sims. He's one of my good friends and we talk all the time and I try to help him with everything I can. But that's just the way it goes sometimes that it's taken out of context."I wish that fans truly knew me and I know that people that know me and have been around me know what I mean or what I meant what I said last night."Context was provided in the original story about what led into each quote and full audio of his segment was added.McCarron went on to clarify his comments about Alabama's offense needing a "true leader.""I misworded it last night and I'll admit that," he said. "What I meant, because I gave an example right after I said that, which was the 'vocal leader.' So that's what I should have said was vocal leader and I mentioned last night, they have plenty of leaders on the team. I named numerous ones last night. Ryan Kelly, I knew he was one of them. And I asked, with him being out, who was going to be that vocal guy that steps up now? And I asked is that Blake Sims? Does he need to step up into that role? That's not a negative in any way.""But I really don't see what all the fuss was of people on the Internet or on Twitter talking about me bashing the team. I never once have I ever bashed our team, especially this year. If anything, and I think Ryan you can back me up, I've been one of the biggest supporters of this year's team and for Blake Sims."But that's the way it goes sometimes. Media has to sell and that's just the ugly side of the media. I feel bad for the guys that report the right way and do the right things and don't try to spin everything into a negative and make it all about sales. The negative side of the media ruins it for the guys that truly care about good reporting. But that's just the way it goes sometimes."
McTattoo says he was a misunderstood, blames mediahttp://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2014/10/aj_mccarron_responds_to_commen.html#incart_m-rpt-2
