Arian Foster warned by NFL to properly fulfill media obligations
Arian Foster has not been a big fan or supporter of the national media this offseason as he is coming back off of a season ending back injury. Foster has not been answering questions for the media, and instead has been trolling anyone who has questioned the former Pro Bowler.

Two weeks ago Foster spoke with media at Texans’ training camp, and answered essentially the same exact response to ten completely different questions. While fans around the NFL got a chuckle from Foster’s hijinks and unwillingness to speak with the media, the NFL was not too fond of Foster’s game.
According to the Houston Chronicle’s John McClain, Foster was sent a warning of a fine from the NFL if he did not fulfill his media obligations appropriately:
NFL sent Arian Foster letter bout a fine if he didn't fill obligations with media. He said he's working hard 2 b best teammate he can b.

Even with the letter from the NFL, Foster was not at all happy to be answering questions from the media today after practice:
Asking Foster questions and seeing expression on his face made me think he'd rather be getting examined by a proctologist

It's painful for Foster to answer such probing questions from mean old Houston media! Arian, how do u feel? Do u think u can play Saturday?

Foster simply wants to get back on the field and let his play do the talking instead of his mouth. Unfortunately for him, fulfilling his media obligations is a part of his job.
