I understand this was the first week writers had the chance to formally interview Bartlett and ask questions about his loss, tho Im sure most of the writers who closely follow the team already knew. While I also understand Brown mentioned it as a tribute to Bartlett's ability to overcome significant adversity and use it to refocus his efforts + dedication. PLEASE RESPECT HIS LOSS. I REALLY hope WVU beat writers do not continue to ask Bartlett questions about this every time he's interviewed. Its EXTREMELY disrespectful and $hi+ for taste.. They got the story, move on and discuss other aspects of his life+game, unless he mentions it, then let it rest.
I was extremely embarrassed by the continued questions he received in the interview the other day, and you could certainly tell he wasnt very comfortable discussing it either. Just because he was successful in his battle to overcome it, doesnt mean its still not extremely difficult + raw, or that he wants to discuss it at every turn, muchless publicly, or let that define him, or this season.. I can hear it now.... a few weeks in another postgame "So Jarrett was you thinking of your brother when you made that sack?, or How do you think your brother would feel seeing you make a play".... WE GET IT.... MOVE ON. Dont be that guy.... Be a professional...
So respect him, his privacy, respect his loss, and dont be that writer that will ask anything just for a few catchy storylines that will drive clicks/views.. No need to continue to beat that horse, everyone knows now, so move on please. Its different if Bartlett brings it up, but unless that happens pursue other questions that we would like to hear+know...
Thank You & Sincerely
