Laraque: "The media invented bull****"

Laraque: "The media invented bull****"
Quote:
Here is a verbatim transcript of his remarks:

"I was in Edmonton, first, I was not even in Montreal. I was in Edmonton for a little peace, because when you come to Montreal and the season starts, not just hockey ... life off the ice, too, you have to be careful. I am a quiet interview with the guy in Edmonton, the guy tells me about the pressure in Montreal: 'Why is there so much pressure? Why is it that the guys played there? What I say, I say it is because of the language media in French, English. Of course, the pressure is higher because there is more media coverage. They said: 'What, you, you find that? " I replied that I liked it, I found it funny that I have fun with it. Me, I do not mind. I think it's a 'game'. To me, it does not bother me, because with the media, I'm good. The media are good for me 'blaster' but when I am with them others is never the same because I am able to defend himself. They are 'tough' when I'm not there, but when I'm there, they are not alike. Me, I do not mind, I have fun with it. "

If Laraque played as much as he talks he might actually be useful.

If you want a contextual translation you can ask me.

Laraque is talking about how he briefly joked around saying that the newcomers in Montreal won't get so much media pressure because they don't speak French... and by the time the story got here in Montreal and went through the bullhonkey machine, it came out as a ridiculous claim that Laraque called up the newbies in Montreal and told them never to speak French, which is retarded because BGL is technically more French than he is English.

P.S. Laraque is usually a very clean talker. He did not by any means say: "The media invented bull****." Rather, he said: "The media invented stupidities."
