Obviously......

[Zvon]

I want us all to make note when a Met says the word "obviously" in any quote. Todays tally from quotes about yesterdays game:

Recker: 1
Wheeler: 1
Wright: 1

Cohen is racking up a nice total

Obviously Wright does this every interview. I noticed this a while ago. Now I see other Mets doing it. I don't have a problem with it. Its interesting.

Piazza would have run away with this in his day.

Obviously.

Is "obviously" this generation's "You know"?
(If anyone answers "obviously" I will hunt you down.)

Wright 2
Satin 1

I think I'll stop counting Wright. He seems to say it every single quote. Yea, Piazza did use the word regularly.
I have to think the younger guys doing it is a trickle down deal from the Capn. Obviously thats a good thing.

I think the faceofthefranchise guys who are obliged to face the media every day are acutely aware that the twin necessities of saying something every day, but saying nothing that's risky, has reduced them to patiently and charminlgy uttering little more than the bleeding obvious.

If you were to include Chris Russo in this topic he'd retire the trophy inside a week.

Do you think they are actually "coached".

[Edgy MD]

I "imagine" they're "coached," as all "players" are to some "degree." Whether or not they're coached to use the word "obviously" is not obvious to me.

No "reason" to be a "dick". Ha! I "kid".

[Guest cooby]

Funny thread! "LOL!"

[ashie62]

obviously...

[Zvon]

I forgot about this.

Hefner: 1 (yesterdays paper)
Harvey: 1 (just now during broadcast interview)
