I have been saying it for a while, sooner or later there is going to be a fight between a player and a reporter.
Things keep boiling over like this, so it is just a matter of time.
After Bennett said that “Matt Ryan is obviously the MVP of the NFL this year and made great plays,” a reporter said to Bennett, “You weren’t able to get as much pressure on him as you were…”
“We got a lot of pressure,” Bennett said. “He threw the ball really fast. There was some busted stuff going on so obviously you don’t know football. He threw the ball pretty fast. He did his thing. We rushed as good as we could. Don’t point and say we didn’t do what we needed to do, OK? Don’t do that.
“Get out of my face now. Don’t tell me I didn’t do my job (expletive). OK, exactly. Get the (expletive) out of my face. Like I said, get out of my face. Don’t play with me. Don’t play with me. I just put my heart on the (expletive) field. Don’t (expletive) play with me. Get the (expletive) out of my face then. Try me again, see what happens. I ain’t one of these (expletive) out here. Don’t try to tell me what I didn’t do (expletive).”
The question was perfectly fine, while you have to understand Bennett is emotional after taking an L, he still needs to be professional.
The media has a job to do just like he does.
Here is the worst part of it though.
During tirade, Michael Bennett asked Q13 reporter Bill Wixey "What adversity you went through?!" Well, Wixey survived Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

No idea why athlete’s assume just because a media person hasn’t played a sport or grew up in the hood that means their life has been smooth sailing.
Flip the page for the video a fight almost broke out, Bennett calls the reporter a Motherf*cker…
