Default Re: Happy Thread--Post when coach/player/reporter does something good

[ QUOTE ]
It's hard for me to form a strong opinion on this without knowing this woman's credibility prior to this.

Does she actually have access to inside info w/ a proven track record of being correct? If so the coach is probably an idiot & needs to address internal issues with his staff leaking information.

But the article does read a lot like a tabloid. Half the sentences begin with "Rumor has it", "If you believe the rumblings", "Word on the street"...meh. The Mom/chicken angle I thought was unreal. Don't most normal kids get over the "embarrased to be around your parents" thing shortly after Junior High?

In the end they're probably both idiots.

Gundy said the column was 75% inaccurate, but refused to say which parts were false when the reporter asked.

It was a column---columnists speculate, publish rumors, form opinions, etc. The idiot part of the rant is how no one who had a child would ever criticize a child like she did. Gundy actually compared the situation to a kid getting called fat or not picked up on the playground and running home to mommy.

Plus, Gundy brought on the speculation by refusing to answer questions like "who is the starting QB this week, and why did you bench Reid?" If you tell the media to buzz off, they still have a deadline and have to write something.
