Agreed.
Snowflakes searching high and low for something to be offended about.
I like how everyone on the board is criticizing Murphy, but he's nothing but right.
You guys are the very same people that he's talking about, but instead of admitting it you just talk about how he's throwing his fan base and the press under the bus. He's not talking about his whole fan base, he's talking about his critics. He says he's here to race, he's trying to stay focused, but the second he has a bad race, guess who's going to be on the boards 5 seconds later with a "Murphy GOES HOME DEVASTATED" thread and some random comments about his girlfriend and how Alberto isn't training him right? You people. This is the most hypocritical thread I've seen in a while.

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.
You guys should fix the headline or op then to include this. Completely changes the context because this is what the post says, "When we asked Murphy if he considers himself the favorite for the final, Murphy replied, “That’s for you guys to sit in a dungeon and twittle your fingers and write articles about I guess. I’m out there to race.” Misleading "journalism"

Watch the video. He was clearly restating what an earlier journalist said. It was funny. Go Murphy!
It was clear he knew who asked him the question, and he wouldn't hide his disdain for LR. No one else would have gotten that answer.
