Kirby is not one to put himself in front of the spotlight but he is a pretty big part of the team and core so he has to be involved in the marketing campaigns. There’s a lot of talented players but as someone that’s been around for a while it’s normal to be included in the marketing.

After games addressing the media is part of the process and it’s not too bad. It’s bad when they have a lot of questions after a loss, and sometimes the questions aren’t really the best, but it is what it is. That being said, Kirby knows that as a veteran he needs to speak and set a tone with the media. When the team or players don’t play well he definitely puts himself first and puts the blame on himself so the younger guys don’t take as much heat. It’s something he’s learned to deal with and doesn’t phase him when the media or fans are on him for his play.
