I was reading sports writers' columns before you were crapping in your diapers little boy. Did you read the Sun Times' beat writers columns yesterday? I would bet you didn't. None of the three were "puff pieces." Not Rick Morrissey stuff but certainly not puff either.Are you new to how the media works? If you listen to radio interviews all you're ever going to hear is canned responses and and puff pieces. Especially with beat reporters, they toss up softball questions and get the answers they expect for their headlines or sound bites. Beat writers and local media have to work with these people on a regular basis so they're not going to grill them or ask questions that will make them sweat because it will damage their working relationship.
You don't need to explain how things work. I am well aware. I understand these guys have to see each other every day. If you read my post correctly I was commenting on the ridiculous answer, not the question. As a matter of fact I didn't even mention anything about the questioning. You made this up on your own.
In the future at least try to respond to another person's post by addressing what that person actually said instead of going on one of your tangents.
