Sure... but all Friend is suggesting is that, on the surface, Gundy's tirade wasn't all it appeared to be. Hence the lead in to the story about how some girl at a party, not knowing who she was talking to, said how she admires Gundy for sticking up for one of his players like that. And then the whole deeper look into the whys and hows that lead to Gundy's reaction and Reid's alternate take on the incident and the events and circumstances that led up to it.
Just like anything else, there's no absolute good guy or bad guy in this story ,regardless of how we may *feel* about it. It certainly appears that Reid had a glass jaw, but it also certainly appears that Gundy gave up on him prematurely. The whole point of the piece was to suggest that perhaps it wasn't the reporter that lit the fuse that led to Gundy's explosion - perhaps there is a *different* perspective that should be explored.
Having said all that, I still think it's a well-written piece...

I agree it was well-written. It just seemed more fiction than non.
"He downed a red-bull..." THAT'S why he was [censored]ed! I get it, he drinks alot of caffiene! It seemed fake to me.
