More Media Problems for Tony!!!

[FlFlash]

Stewart cartches alot of grief over how he responds to media questions so I beleive it's only fair to show the other side:

QUESTIONABLE QUESTION: Tony Stewart spars with the media like few athletes in sports. He can become ornery over the most innocuous question and never fails to let a reporter know when he has asked what Stewart considers a stupid question.

In a good mood after a victory, Stewart still had some fun at the media’s expense. One reporter—who must have been watching the Red Sox game—asked Stewart:

“On the front straightaway where you took the lead, what was the technique behind that? When did you decide that was the point to make your move?”

Stewart, of course, won the race because Clint Bowyer ran out of gas with two laps left.

“I mean, I planned it for 280 some odd laps,” Stewart said to laughter. “I knew he was going to run out of fuel right at that moment versus just driving through him and running over him. Seems like it might be an easier option to turn left and run around him. That was the strategy all along. Just had to wait for that opportunity.”

Stewart had the room in laughter, when the moderator said with a smile, “no follow up on that.”

“Wow,” Stewart said. “And we were doing so good in here today.”

Tony sometimes reminds me of Big E's smart little remarks. Gotta love him.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Ever since his feud with a couple reporters began, he's won the last two races.

That's not the reason he's winning.

I believe he must have taken a few lesson from the Man at one time. If nothing else Tony's very seldom Dull.

Oh great there goes the media trying to take credit

That's not the reason he's winning.

Please continue your reasoning......there's at least 11 other teams that wanna know!

I remember Earnhardt having fun with the media but I don't remember him disrespecting them the way Stewart does from time to time.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Well when you ask a stupid question like that you get that kind of answer.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Don't get me wrong. I like Tony but there's a difference between a little fun and disrespect.

 

[KingGlamis]

That's friggen funny! I wonder if that reporter still has a job?

Earnhardt was pretty rough on the media at times butt be had the Charm or their respect and was able to pull it off with a smile, no one had hard feelings.
