Flip Saunders on Gilbert’s fake injury
Canada Goose Online The gong show returned to Verizon Center Tuesday night, when Gilbert Arenas apparently came up with canada goose mens uk sale a fake injury to help Nick canada goose outlet near me Young get more playing time and then joked about it with the media at virtually the same time that Flip Saunders was praising canada goose clothing uk Gilbert’s mentality. Bad idea. Canada Goose Online
Canada Goose Coats On Sale On Wednesday, all three of these men addressed the incident with the media. I wasn’t there, but Saunders also went on ESPN 980’s The Sports Fix and discussed the incident. He said that he decides who sits and who plays, not Gilbert, but he also made it clear that he didn’t think this was a hilarious gag by a resurgent jokester. Canada Goose Coats On Sale
uk canada goose outlet “I went through the game last night, and the first time I heard about his comments, someone texted me last night at about 12:30,” Saunders told Kevin Sheehan and Thom Loverro. “So that was more a surprise to me than anybody. My reaction was that was not what was told to me, that’s why it was a situation that was handled very quickly, not only in front of Gilbert but in front of the whole team. Actions were taken, and then what you do at that point, we have to move on.” uk canada goose outlet
Canada Goose sale Saunders said Arenas was fined, but that no other punishment would be meted out. He said he made the decision to sit Arenas at shootaround, when canada goose langford black friday Gilbert seemed to be having trouble moving around. He said the previous two practices had been tough and long, and it wouldn’t have been unusual for Gilbert to be sore. But still, you can’t lie. Canada Goose sale
Canada Goose Outlet “Believe it or not, Gilbert has been in my two years here the easiest guy that I’ve had to coach,” Saunders said. “When I ask him to do something, he’s done everything I’ve asked him to do from a canada goose black friday instagram player standpoint. I think at times, Gilbert can be his own worst enemy as far as talking too much. And I really believe this: he looks at being Nick’s mentor, he likes to see Nick do good. But for him to make those comments, they’re just unjustified type comments.” Canada Goose Outlet

canada goose “How could he possibly not have the maturity at this point to realize the impact of saying that I committed a fraud so I could dictate who started?” canada goose
canada goose coats “That I can’t answer,” Saunders said. But from my standpoint, as I told our team, I trust all 14, 15 guys that are in canada goose outlet buffalo that locker room. And so if someone says they’re hurt, we move on and put someone else in there. As a player, as a professional athlete, you’ve got to put yourself in a position to understand that when you step away, whether it’s an injury or canada goose outlet whatever it is, you put yourself in a situation that someone else can take your spot. And so like I said, so we move on.” canada goose coats
Someone needs to tell me what the difference is with canada goose outlet england this incident and the dozens if not hundreds of times in NFL preseason that veterans sit out and the team claims it’s because of an injury canada goose repair shop (or to prevent further injury to those not unlike Arenas who are coming off surgeries).
buy canada goose jacket cheap The only difference as I see it is that Arenas made a comment to a reporter. Other than that, it’s essentially the exact same thing as McNabb not playing in the final 2 preseason games “due to a sore ankle” even though he himself said he was healthy enough to play. buy canada goose jacket cheap
canada goose clearance It is not clear at all from the Saunders interview that he is upset with Arenas for faking an injury in preseason or even if he really did fake an injury. What the coach seems upset about is Arenas commenting to a reporter about it. What Gil did was just plain stupid. If you are a Gil hater, then there is nothing to be said. The way I look at it is that Gil is going to be the best 2 guard in the league. He prepares himself as well as anyone in the game. I don’t hold his knee injury against him. I sortof feel like the press wants to villify him if he is not perfect or doesn’t act they way he wants them to. But as a fan, I don’tthink he crossed any lines that puts him in the villain category. Saunders was pissed and took whatever action he thought appropriate and that’s where it should stay. There are alot of self canada goose black friday deals uk righteous people out there. I’m glad they aren’t friends of mine because I couldn’t handle the scrutiny. The media is so hungry to get a story about Gilbert not fitting in that they almost forgot the Wizards won (BIG) against Atlanta. So what if Jamal Crawford did not play, neither did Gil, so it was a push. I love it when the media gets jerked like idiots by an idiot! As long as they are winning, who cares. Of course once they start losing then that is another story, but for now the story should be about how this team may actually be better than most people give them credit for, even with Gilbert canada goose clearance.
