If she's going to write stuff like that, she'd better be ready to take the heat.....
You know, it would be one thing if the coach said those things were untrue and acted like this after a LOSS. That might be construed as a coach blowing off steam after a tough loss against a conference team.
But this was after a win, a win that might just get Oklahoma State rolling after a pretty tough game against Troy.
Maybe it's me, but that is telling....

More media types taking the side of the bitch reporter. Ironically, it's Jim Rome on his show saying it was a complete over-reaction by the coach. "He should've taken her aside and done it privately."...Jim, go [censored] yourself, you little pussy. She took a [censored] in public, and that's exactly how she should get her nose rubbed in it. And BTW Jim, isn't this just your own fear of crying in the fetal position when your mouth writes a check your ass can't cash?

Actually Saw, this seems to be the general reaction from most of the media types I have heard, but what can you expect? I mean she's in the media, they work in the media, and of course they are going to take something like this and ram it down his throat. Not to mention that by having this outburst they have made this whore-reporter nationwide news.

Oh I know. But since this is as close as I have to a public forum, I'm gonna call every one of them out for being hypocritical douchebags when I see a specific example as I just did on Rome's show. It makes me feel better...

I can understand that. Judgment on performance is fine; however, attacking a person's character is off limits.

This part I don't agree with. A full-ride scholarship IS, IMO, payment. For said payment, an amateur athlete is supposed to perform. Like I said, judge the performance not the performer.

Oh I disagree. I think we can all agree that even among 20-year-old college football players there are any number of people where - and this is the key here - their actions call for a serious questioning of their character. I'm thinking of the central characters in the Miami-FIU brawl, or Marcus Vick, or Mitch Cozad (the No. Colorado punter who went all Tonya Harding on his teammate.)
But to have a guy tell you he gets nervous before football games (and who doesn't?? I get nervous sometimes and I'm watching comfortably from my La-Z-Boy) and twist that around to him being too scared to play? To look at one episode of him laughing on the sidelines during a loss - as if every player should act as though at a funeral - and say he doesn't have the right attitude? Jenni Carlson isn't some dip[censored] fan mouthing off on a sports talk show, she's a dip[censored] reporter who doesn't understand the responsibilities of her profession. I don't even think this has anything to do with how old Bobby Reid is or what he gets paid or doesn't get paid. The way she treated him in her column is how no athlete should be treated, professional or not.
