Lanning v Crepea at Monday Presser 11/4

In case you all missed it, Lanning turned a question about the final tuddy at the end into a joke about some appreciative Duck fans. Then he commented that “I know James was one of those guys that got excited. I got your back James.”
Crepea got all pissy and huffed, “for the record, I never wager on sport.”
Lanning: “Good to hear. I’d say that’s a safe decision all the time.”
I would pay good money to watch a remake of “The Odd Couple” with Lanning and Crepea stuck together as roommates for one week.
Also, in case any of you missed it, go search social
media for the ChatGPT AI Dan Lanning a Duck fan made after the Michigan game. It’s NSFW, but hilarious.

I watched the presser and heard this. Dan was great, kept a straight face the whole time.

Most of the time, I really appreciate Lanning for how he works with the media. He usually knows how to give reporters what they need while also holding things close to the vest and without being an asshole about it -- which, sadly, is rare these days.
In this case though, Lanning created an awkward moment. He really shouldn't be joking about journalists betting on sports any more than journalists should be joking about him betting on sports. It's a bad look professionally and puts the person being "joked" about in a needlessly compromising position.
Crepea (who didn't seem pissy at all) simply stated for the record that he doesn't bet on sports (which was the right move, considering in his industry that could be a fireable offense). He didn't take any digs at Lanning or anything, just clarified and moved on. Lanning's intent in that moment wasn't relevant to his response.
Lanning's final comment about "safe decision all the time" was also kind of awkward. I'm not sure whether he was trying to pile on Crepea for ruining his joke or if he realized he'd screwed up and was respectfully walking things back. I actually think it was the latter. Lanning really doesn't strike me as the kind of asshole who gets off on targeting reporters. I don't think he's an asshole at all, I think he's a genuinely good human, and he seems to respect the media even if he doesn't really want to talk to them.
The summary: I don't think Lanning was trying to be an asshole, but he accidentally made things a little awkward. Both guys rebounded and moved on like good professionals should.

Thanks Perez, it is funny how people have different opinions on how a conversation goes down. I did not find James pissy either and I thought Dan was running with James as friends do. I thought it was all lighthearted and in good, quick fun.
As far as coaches being “assholes to press”, I can kind of understand it. I know if someone twisted my words and published the twisted words, with the way I am, they would be in my doghouse for a while or even a very long time…… that kind of stuff make some people,justified a holes. IMO

Absolutely, and this definitely happens, but it's usually with columnists/bloggers who are in the business of sharing opinions. Sometimes beat reporters write things that rub sources the wrong way, but usually conversations follow and people reach understandings & move on. I definitely had my share of those moments during my journalism years... it's all part of the job. Journalists aren't there to do PR, but, like coaches, they shouldn't be assholes in their roles, either. Everyone is human and should get the benefit of the doubt until they've proven they don't deserve it.

I heard the whole thing and did not think James was pissy or Dan was trying to give him a hard time. I think some of it with James is his tone. He always sounds a bit edgy but that's just him.
The coaches and players know how James is. He and Gabriel had a similar 'exchange' a couple of weeks ago.
I also don't think it was awkward in anyway for either one of them. Dan was just having a little fun. It actually added a little humor to what sometimes is very mundane.

Okay, except for the fact that Lanning never actually said anything about gambling. That's what makes it funny rather than awkward. Crepea made it awkward by turning one possible interpretation into the express subject matter.
I get wanting to dispel the appearance of impropriety though. I had a reporter try to get me to have lunch one time over email and then she quickly corrected herself that she wasn't offering to buy me lunch. It was the same awkwardness for her, but I thought it was pretty funny. My impression is that when one is in the business of carefully crafting and arranging words in order to drive a narrative, one becomes overly concerned that someone might reciprocate in kind. Living by the sword and being afraid to also die by it.

I'll just say that Dan is far more polite and courteous to the press than his predecessor was.
His predecessor hated Crepea and made no effort to hide it in anyway.

I admittedly haven't listened to it, so relying completely on the transcript above. However, I don't see mention on gambling (though I don't know why it would be an issue if a reporter did so), but are we sure his intent wasn't around Crepea being an Ohio St. grad, and them scoring another TD on Michigan? Either way, doesn't seem like a big deal.

Crepea said he does not wager on sports hence the gambling reference.
It was an attempt at humor by Dan is my take. Nothing more.

I think it's more likely he was referencing people who took the over on Oregon. Lanning knew the spread. Or maybe he was talking about gambling and then tossed out the "I got your back James" as a nod to his time at Ohio State.
But yeah, they seemed over it and I'm thankful this is the extent of the drama we see at pressers.

My bad. After looking at Pez’s pov, maybe James wasn’t irritated. Pez makes great points as always. Regardless, I found the whole exchange delightful.
I absolutely agree that Dan is a very good person and doesn’t belittle or try to talk down to reporters. He’s accommodating & patient without giving too much away.
I don’t miss the Mario constipation look of disdain, but I gotta be honest, I miss the Chip quick one-word answer followed by awkward silence and the 1,000-yard death stare. Good times.
Here is the link to ChatGPT AI Dan Lanning. It is NSFW so turn the speakers down:

Sorry, I just meant to state that Lanning wasn't necessarily the one to initiate gambling talk, as the commented post mentioned he was joking with Crepea about betting on sports and that was inappropriate. Maybe it was a joke around that, maybe it wasn't. Could be that Crepea inferred incorrectly what Lanning was referencing. I definitely agree it isn't a big deal either way, as it was all in jest.
