My first perception of the media's love affair with Martellus Bennett came after he appeared at a men's basketball game where, as a high school senior, he lead yells, sang the war hymn, and was the target of countless inappropriate Aggie Angle advances. For the next few years the media ate up everything he said. Who am I kidding, we all did. If something happened in the state of Texas, everyone wanted to know what Tellus would say about it. His atmospheric ego was somehow charming.

Then, a few weeks ago, he stopped talking to the media. He bit the hand that fed him. His punishment was typical, the media waited until he made his next public comment, then rolled it up and popped him on the nose. Now Tellus's tail is between his legs. He claims that he isn't the waiting for the NFL combine to show off his talent. In fact, he does "whatever it takes for [his] team to win" and doesn't do "selfish acts or anything like that." Strangely he doesn't think the misrepresentation it is "the media's fault, really" Yep, he has learned his lesson. Don't get on the media's bad side.
