A video posted to Twitter by ESPN’s Jenna Laine has garnered more than 8 million views after assembled reporters — including FOX Sports’ Greg Auman — tried to gather comments from running back Giovani Bernard. Bernard was involved in a play that appeared to be a fake punt, but when the ball was snapped to him, he was not prepared for the fake.
In the contentious confrontation, Bernard claimed he didn’t want to talk to reporters because they hadn’t talked to him all season. In response, Auman replied “what have you done for us to talk to you all year?”
On Tuesday, Auman apologized on Twitter for his quip. He quote tweeted a video of Pat McAfee discussing the interaction. The former NFL punter was open in his criticism of the reporters, saying he didn’t like the tone with which they spoke, adding “That’s a human. That’s a human as well as a professional athlete.”
