Giants DE Osi Umenyiora Blames Missed Media Session On A Misunderstanding

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora, whom the NFL fined $20,000 on Wednesday for missing a mandatory media session, attributed his failure to appear before reporters to a misunderstanding of the week's rules. Umenyiora said he wasn't aware he was required to speak to the media Monday through Thursday during Super Bowl week. "I chose to hang out with my family," Umenyiora said during the Giants' last player availability before Sunday's game. "I didn't know it was a mandatory media session, simply because we had Media Day (on) Tuesday. I didn't know it was Media Day every day." Umenyiora wasn't sure what questions he would have faced Wednesday that were much different from Tuesday's Media Day event at Lucas Oil Stadium. "We hadn't practiced; we hadn't done anything," Umenyiora said. "I didn't really know there was anything that needed to be talked about between Tuesday and Wednesday. It was a mistake, a big mistake, but a mistake nonetheless."

um, i find it hard to believe that Coughlin wouldn't be running a tight schedule during Super Bowl week ............... having said that, though, i have been hearing rumors that the giants have fairly loose this week so maybe coughlin wasn't perfectly clear on where to be and when..........
