I don't have a problem with that. If you ask a fair and honest question, you usually get the same kind of answer. Some players and coaches don't mind lying to the media and others are using it for their own personal gain. Some even turn it into a game. John was friendly and honest and was thinking ahead a little bit to a possible career after football.
Some players have an interview schedule.
Clyde Simmons had the same rule. That's fine too. Everybody knows what the rule is and abides by it. Whatever reasons the player has for it don't have to be justified by anybody. Good, I'll be there.
