Imagine having to spend a large part of your day answering the same exact questions, over and over. It'd get pretty numbing, wouldn't it? You'd get sick of it, right? Okay, now imagine having money and fame for doing the thing you love. Now the whole answering-questions bit gets a little easier to deal with, right? You'd think, but then that's not always the case. Exhibit #500,000 in the case of Athletes vs. Common Freakin' Courtesy is Juan Pablo Montoya, who put on this wonderful little performance yesterday as he was about to do an interview with KTXL in Sacramento:
It was an idiot move by Montoya, without a doubt. (I understand the sportscaster's frustration, though I think he's overselling a bit how hard it is to access these guys.) Here's hoping someone sits JPM down and reminds him that dealing with the PR aspect of this job is, you know, kind of a necessary one. Deal with it, man, and show both your fans, your team and your sport some more respect.
