Is Murphy the favorite? '"That’s for you guys to sit in a dungeon and twittle your fingers and write articles about."

I watched the whole video and he was having a bit of fun. We can all relax!

Bunch of crybabies here.

Rupp: doesn’t make any jokes

LR: “No personality, boring, Salazar’s puppet, despicable!”

Murphy: tries to make one joke

LR: “Hates the fans, arrogant, Salazar’s puppet, despicable!”

Yes. Anyone bashing Murphy needs to watch the whole video. I don't think any of us in the mixed zone were offended by what he said -- I think most of us found it funny (I know I did, but I can only speak for myself).

He didn't want to call himself the favorite so he had a little fun with his response. Nothing wrong with that.

And you're a hillbilly who thinks that "ignorant" means rude.

Where is this dungeon that they're supposed to be sitting?

The Letsrun.com basement.

amen.

Murphy is a Trump Disciple. He hates the liberal media (letsrun) that likes. He rightly thinks Trump is the best President we've ever had!

This Murphy guy stinks, and I don’t like him

Agree with #1 but not #2.

That’s totally disrespectful. And must stem from albuterol saladbar’s distaste for Letsrun - who are some of the few journalists who have called out cheats and fought for the integrity of the sport.

If Murphy and others think they could make it without any help from the media - in a sport that’s so niche that “fans” like me would lost total contact with it if not for Letsrun, then screw them.

What a prima Donna comment. I get a major superstar like LeBron occasionally being short with the media. Murphy is far from a superstar and sounds more like an ignorant punk.

Now I know who I won’t be rooting for. Can’t wait till Berian is back in form to whoop his ass.

Sounds like you didn’t even watch the video.

What?

It sounds like Mr Murphy spends a lot of time forming ideas about what others think of him. I would say it is very adolescent, but his is apparently in his mid-20s?

What a loser attitude.

This.

Don't just take the quote out of context. He was clearly referencing what one of the reporters said earlier in the interview. It wasn't meant in a negative sense at all, even if that's what it sounds like if you don't watch the video.

This guy is such a douche

Sounds like he will go postal if he gets blown out in the finals

The quote written in the thread title sounds a lot worse than the tone with which he says it in the video.

I have no idea whether Clayton is a Trump disciple, but Letsrun is definitely NOT run by liberals.

Of course donovan picked him as the favorite, they are training partners. I’d pick Sowinski as the favorite.
