Jared Goff: Comments on media negativity “may have got twisted”

Lions quarterback Jared Goff revisited some new opinions about the internet in Detroit during an interview on Tuesday.

Goff said on the Wilbo Trading Cards podcast that “ I have this issue with our local media where like they almost like love in anger at periods” and that he feels “it’s no longer what they need to live in” because the Lions have had success over the last couple of months. Goff’s remarks were referencing a question he was asked ahead of the NFC title game about the notion that the Lions were less talented than the 49ers and he said on Tuesday that he could have been clearer about the place he was trying to make.

“There’s been a ton of optimism. It may have got twisted a little bit, as issues do. I was speaking in reference to the topic I was asked at that press conference, ” Goff said to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. web. “ I was answering that question. I was not saying it aren’t any positive announcement, I had n’t actually know, but they have been good to me. I was saying that I think sometimes, some of the people, enjoy the bad news and I don’t suppose that ’s always certain to Detroit. I was speaking about our local folks, but I think that ’s kind of the world. Not to get really great right now, but it was n’t always certain to Detroit, it was the world media, sports media, undoubtedly the NFL media and the roller coaster that is and what sells clicks. But, yeah, maybe I may ’ve been a little more precise with that. ”

Whatever his feelings about the tone of the previous policy of the group, Goff and the Lions have made for strong partners and there should be plenty of positive coverage about the team’s outlook as the start of the regular season moves closer. How he and the team handle that change of circumstances will have a lot to do with how they fare on the field this fall.
