    Sorry, missed it. As Sunshine says, I should do a better job of following along.

  4. Well let me refresh you then my new found friend...and pay close attention.
    The coach cared...the players who looked up to him cared...his family cared...and as a responsible small town sports reporter who knew the guy and even published his coaching record I damn well cared. If you are going to write a story about a public figure like this guy was you had better damn well make sure it is 100% dead on balls correct before you publish...if not the story needs to be pulled. I take my responsibility as a sports journalist very seriously and I don't half ass do my job when a person's reputation is on the line. Gould didn't do his job and I don't care if this is discussed 100 years from now it is something we have to be very careful of. Now if you don't give a shit about that maybe you should do something else for a living...understand?

    Sounds to me like you're taking it pretty personally. Might not want to get so close to those you cover.

    I'd just like to issue a formal apology to TSP, who I thought was being a bit of a dick at the start of this thread.

    My apologies, TSP.

    (EDIT: You came in while I was hitting "send," Moddy. ;))

    Are we not having fun? Also, Johnny no matter the circumstances it's pretty fucking bush league to go after a guy on the jobs board.

    If you get mad at me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize.
