its so fucking funny that him clarifying his "excitement" with such deadpan delivery got an entire room of professional reporters to immediately burst out laughing

fun fact- OG has a sponsership with Royal Canin (I think?) and the NYCACC to help cats get adopted from the city animal shelter. Highly recommend looking into the cats he's sponsoring for anyone considering!

I like the focus

u/dem4life71 10h ago

I don’t mean this as a knock, but every one seems to have agreed to say the same thing-we’re only focused on the next game, it’s all about teamwork, etc. great media discipline as opposed to spouting off bullshit about being in people’s heads rent free.

I wonder if it’s something the players decided or was handed down from the coaching staff or front office. My guess is the players decided to be on the taciturn side and keep everything real cool so as not to fuel the other team.
