Sentence:  [Shane Black:] And keep in mind, I got <WSD>sandbagged</WSD> by this one reporter in like 1999 or 2000. He said, "I'm a big fan of your work; I'd love to do a story on you." And after he had interviewed me, he said, "Oh, by the way, I'm going to kind of crunch your words together to make it look like you're talking. I'll sort of take my voice out of it." And it turns out the article is called “Letters from Oblivion” and it was basically about has-beens. But because he was able to put it in my own words it sounded like I was complicit in the article. Like, "As a has-been, here's what I'd like to say about it." 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  To conceal or misrepresent one's true position, potential, or intent in order to gain an advantage.
