Meyer Rips Reporter in Defense of Player
Published March 24th, 2010
With a stern look and some finger pointing, Florida coach Urban Meyer had harsh words for a reporter following spring practice.
Meyer confronted an Orlando Sentinel reporter Wednesday and defended receiver Deonte Thompson.
Jeremy Fowler quoted Thompson as referring to John Brantley as a "real quarterback," a comment that Meyer took issue with.
It's unclear whether Meyer really took issue with the Sentinel's story on Thompson or if he was merely angry because Thompson didn't intend to rip former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
