"Oh, it's always the athlete crossed the line when he responds," Adams said Wednesday. "But at the end of the day, disrespect is disrespect. However you want to take it. So I responded. I knew when I did hit that tweet, I wasn't in it to win it. At the end of the day, it was to get him to understand to leave me the hell alone."

Adams said he and the reporter have "previous history" and that they "don't like each other."

"He's been going on saying a couple things since the trade, and obviously it's been happening before that, and I just got fed up with it," Adams said. "... Whether it was uncalled for or not, my ultimate goal was to get [him] to not respond to me anymore. That was the key, and that's what I hope it is."/quote]

I missed all this about Adams. His contract is up this year, yes?

Wow, gone is probably right. What an empty return on investment. Two first-rounders, anything else? Thank God we fleeced the Broncos.

Does anyone here think that Adams has a point? Is it okay for a NY beat writer to rip on Adams (or any athlete for that matter), but not okay for the player in question to respond in kind?

The Adams trade aside (which has proven abysmal), should players be held to a higher standard than the talking heads, most of whom have never played the game?

Just curious what people think about this.

What started this whole thing, it must go back to events prior to the trade?

The guy didn't go after Adam's family. Not sure how you can possibly not see the difference.

I can, but it was one word, no? Yikes. That could be construed in many ways.

I'm not defending Adams, I just find it interesting how some of these talking heads are allowed to be jerks.

It's the same word the writer used. As Adams admitted, the writer went low and adams went lower. But it's fucking Twitter or whatever it's called isn't it? Elon Musk insults members. What exactly are the rules?
