The journos did the same as you did, they just picked up on it later. The clip was not out of context. The context was Tyson damning Kevvie with the faintest of praise (only stepping in when they start fucking around).
The entire interview was mostly them wittering on about American sport. No one is interested in that. The Broncos comments, however, are highly newsworthy, particularly in the context of the player in question, the freefall form of the team in his absence, his subsequent release from the club, and him being recalled to save the team's season in what might be his final game in a Broncos jersey.
If they were being really parasitic, they might go one further and speculate that he might've been pissed off to have been forced further back in the queue for the 6 jersey by the coach's son. A decision, that in retrospect, was yet another selection blunder by the coach.
