Missouri's Frazier announces blackout toward local media
Don't expect to hear much from Marcell Frazier this season, as the Missouri defensive end announced on Twitter that he won't be speaking to local media.
I will not be available to any local media this season. I gain nothing from it. I am still an amateur, not binded to do interviews (yet).

Frazier seemed to elaborate further on the decision on his Twitter timeline, taking a shot at how the media covers athlete arrests compared to other students.
The writers get such a kick when MU athletes are arrested. Almost as though it's a chance for them to reinforce their beliefs.

Teenager with a beer is covered like watergate. Frats spiking drinks, committing assault, and encouraging underage drinking is a non story.

Frazier was a standout performer for the Tigers' last season, finishing with 8.5 sacks, and is expected to be the program's best pass-rusher in 2017.
