USC Morning Buzz: Caesar Continues Super Bowl Spin

CARROLL.SUPERPete Carroll was asked at the Super Bowl if tailback Marshawn Lynch missed a chance to communicate with the fans:

“I think that you’re seeing a demonstration of a guy being himself and not being what everybody wants him to be. That is why you will continue to hear our players support him. He’s trying to do the best job he can of being him, and maybe you don’t feel that that’s what he should do, but that is what is going on.

“In that sense, he’s being true to himself and we understand that. I understand that people would like to see him do different things. He’s not comfortable with that, so that’s what he’s telling you. He’s doing it exactly the way he knows how to do it best. That conversation about supporting the person that he is, we talk about all the time. That is a mainstay of our conversation within going along with what it’s all about, which is being a team member and he’s an incredible team member. This environment just isn’t one that you get to see him in the way you want to see him. You’re seeing him as he is and in that regard, it is what it is.”

  1. Lynch is doing the best job he can of being him. Boy, Carroll really had to dig deep to compliment Lynch on his inane performance at media day.

    I have read that he is a nervous public speaker, but that is no excuse for what he pulled the last couple of days.

  2. Ironic that the spin king would accuse someone of spinning. The difference is Scott that you always spin in a negative direction and Pete in a positive one.

  3. BTW….Former USC CB Anthony (“Sark is a racist”) Brown is entering the NFL Draft, per his Facebook…….

    • I wonder how that racist call will be viewed by NFL coaches while they make draft decisions.

    • Anyone can say anything they like; but just saying it does not make it so. The fact that players denied the claim and recruits continue to commit to the school speaks volumes. If Sark were a racist the locker room would know— players can identify a phony real quick. Sark may be a bad tactician and a bad game manager and he might not even develop players to their max. But he is not a racist. If there was a story here there are plenty of reporters and bloggers looking to make a reputation and would go after it with a white hot passion. Not to mention Scott who does not miss an opportunity to put USC into a bad light.

  4. Lynch doesn’t want to communicate with the fans – so he doesn’t and he’s not missing any chances. Who cares? Hope he has a great Super Bowl.

  5. Pete= Glass is full and lets have fun and kick some booty.
    Scotty= I would not have used a glass. The glass is cracked and empty.

  6. Typical Wolf, any chance to take a cheap shot at Pete Carrol and Wolf takes it. Wolf is a truly sad, pathetic, untalented, little man. And he wonders why so many people at USC have no tolerance for him. It’s one thing to tell the truth and it’s quite another to take an innocuous event, i.e. Lynch not wanting to talk to the media, and to negatively spin it on Carrol. People, when you read drivel such as this, remember the source of the drivel. The Prince of Drivel himself, Scott Wolf.

  7. Caesar’s spin is as jumbled as confusing as when he addressed the sanctions (briefly) in 2010….his quote: “it’s stuff, just a bunch of stuff”

    CowaBUNGA, dude!!

  8. Pete is doing what he preaches, being part of the team. He stands behind his people just being themselves and there is nothing wrong with that. A true players coach. He wouldn’t last a day with the 49er’s owner though.

  9. Caesar… spin… bowl….

    Why no Lawry’s spinning caesar salad joke, Wolf? You were so close.

  10. What the heck exactly is “spin” worthy in the comments posted by PC, Scott? Would you mind responding to a reader who would like to hear your rationale?

    And what’s with the incessant “Caesar” references? Two-bit journalism.
