..........I'm with the coach on this one!
I normally don't defend coaches, because most are jerks; and this one probably is too; but, I think he has a good point. Mike Gundy recently went on a rant over a newspaper article that targeted one of his players. He went as far to call the paper, "garbage", among other comments. Of course, everyone in the media is expecting an apology for the rant and the name-calling, etc. The writer of the article falls directly behind the 'ole "freedom of speech" thing. Yeah, you do have the freedom to speak your mind; but, when you attack someone, expect them to possibly exercise their "freedom of speech" to retaliate. I would be a hypocrite not to expect some to question and rant over what goes on this blog at times. It's a "freedom of speech" to many only if their opinion is the right one. Being the "right opinion" is definitely on a sliding scale. Newspaper people need to be questioned; just as all media need to be questioned, and our leaders questioned. If it's an expressed opinion, then you should expect the other side to voice their feelings. Media folks hate to be questioned and I love it when they are called on the carpet; especially when it's someone with a hot temper. Go get 'em, Mike!!!!
