via TMZ:
The Washington Redskins PR guy who rushed Colt McCoy away from a live interview with ESPN Deportes tells TMZ Sports there’s a good reason he hurried the QB — he didn’t want Colt to miss the coach’s postgame speech.
We spoke with Tony Wyllie — the Senior VP of Communications for the Skins — who tells us, “We wanted to get Colt in to hear coach’s postgame speech.”
He adds, “I wasn’t denying access. I wanted Colt to hear coach talk. I felt we needed to get him inside.”
Wyllie says, “Right after the speech, Colt went out and did the interview. I explained the situation to them. They were happy in the end.”
To be honest, I’m really feeling the sportsmanship,Team First!
