Avast ye scurvy dogs! A landlubber reportin' for the Buffalo Bills be blabberin' 'bout Stefon Diggs, but the lad's words were snared by a devilish hot mic! Fear not, me hearties, for the mighty receiver broke his silence, firein' off a string o' tweets like cannonballs! Arrrr!
Buffalo Bills star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has responded to a reporter's comments caught on a hot mic about how he treats the media. Bills team reporter Maddy Glab admitted to the video that went viral on X, where she was heard saying, "He’ll look me right in my face and say F-U," in reference to Diggs. Diggs broke his silence with a series of X posts, stating that the audio shared was hurtful and insulting to his character. He emphasized that he treats people with respect and would never treat anyone the way Glab described. He also mentioned that moments like these are why some players dislike dealing with reporters, as it's hard to fight preconceived notions about them. Diggs requested that people remember he is a human and if he ever made anyone feel like they couldn't approach him, he apologized. Glab also apologized, taking ownership of her words and stating that she meant no ill will. She praised Diggs' character and how he treats the media. Glab provided context to the conversation, stating that it was a joke about trying to interview Diggs, and she shouldn't have said what she said. Trevon Diggs, Stefon's younger brother and a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, also weighed in on the situation. Diggs' performance on the field has been positive, with no previous incidents involving the media. Despite the controversy, Diggs is focused on moving forward and locking back in.
