I didn't hear the interview, but I would say not being one of the 'boys' and asshole can be mutually exclusive things. You can still be liked and not be a one of the guys.

totally agree.
what Brown was conveying in a veiled way was that he knew Griff fairly well and in other venues the take-away was that griff wasn't "one of the guys"....that ke kept to a couple close friends and that was it. The idea was that the QB, to some degree, needs to be "one of the guys" when it comes to just the loose side of lockerroom jockeying and fun. as I was careful to point out....I don't know what ground truth is (and I am a griffin backer - have been all along) but there is some aspect of this that fits what we have seen at the edges in the media. just saying that it was interesting that a player w/a HoF caliber career doing an interview in AZ comes out of left field with comments like this.

same thought I had! griff needs to make his play this season or he's done. cut all the sideshow crap out, go on the field, execute the plays, lead the offense. the tools are there on offense and we'll likely pick up an o-lineman or two between now and Sep who upgrade the quality of play for that unit.
Gotcha...and it is interesting that he brought it up. It would fit with some of the things we've heard.

Tom Brady is a private guy off the field and isn't counted as one of the boys.
It isn't about going out and having drinks together, it's about trusting each other on Sunday's.

He didn't intimate that RGIII was salty or a swinging Richard or anything, just that he didn't really "fit in," so to speak.

bingo. thanks Nick. and he expressed a pov that...in the lockerroom....the detachment makes a difference when it comes to the QB. it was really a statement about many things - especially the culture of today's younger players. truth? I don't know. I just found it interesting given some the stuff that happened toward the end of last season vis sniping in the media.

I heard something funny the other day on the radio: two women claiming they found Brady rather androgenous and that they felt Giselle wore the pants. sidebar...but rather MA funny.
so...getting back to point. no one said anything about hanging w/the boys in the off hrs. Brown was very specific in discussing the lockerroom.

Well, I know the 49ers were able to win with Montana and Young feuding openly for several years.
