But.... either you’re showing up to work and focusing on your job or your not. Voicing your displeasure to the media is definitely not “just doing your job”. Shoulda directed questions to his agent of hit them with no comments imo. Idk man. That's a machine *** response to a very human issue. It can't feel good to have the ineptness from the past leave you floating in the wind when the new guys pull up with a shiny new bell cow. I think considering the circumstances, he's been both real and professional at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the same thing is happening to every one of the bottom of the roster guys and they’re not pouting. Think Kirksey or Schobert like seeing two LB’s drafted this year? How about the corners after Greedy was picked? Your job and your role are yours.... until they’re not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it that a team/organization can decide when to trade a player and move their family and effect their career whenever they want, but when that player gets wind of their being on the trading block it becomes some cardinal sin to say "well if you want to entertain trading me... cool... here's my formal trade request in alignment with your actions as a front office." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't get paid for canned answers so he's under no obligation to give them. Policing people's emotions is super lame and dehumanizes the people these athletes are--especially when, and I can't say this enough, he's done literally nothing but show up and answer questions. Get mad at the media for making it a big deal, but Duke's done nothing wrong here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the backup RB for a team I like, not my kid. We’re having an anonymous online discussion, no one is doing anything to Duke here.

State what he stated once, and then tell them to speak to his agent, they already have his answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if you want to avoid controversy and actually show up and just work, then give the BS answers and actually work. Duke showing up only to make controversial statements to the media (which he clearly knew these would be) is on par with your girl saying “I’m fine” and stomping around the house slamming stuff. It doesn’t take a genius to read between the lines and realize Duke wanted to make his displeasure known, which is absolute NOT just showing up and answering questions.
