    You're a moron. But you'd have a tough time on the Moron Board, too.

    You just said his drinking would alarm you. Why?

    Most college kids, even athletes, drink.

    Yeah ... right. Tell your wife, sister or mother that if someone called them a ho, it would be okay if they didn't mean it negatively.

    Ho is about as negative as it gets to a woman, at least one with any kind of self-esteem.

    And I'm sorry ... college kids drink but you'd be hard-pressed to find any coach in America who would put up with a kid drinking less than 24 hours before an NCAA tournament.

    Christ, do you have a clue about anything? Most college kids drink. Most college athletes have the common sense not to get plowed the night before a tournament game.

    Oh, right ... you're under the assumption he had only one. Natch.

    First of all, I'd simply like the Mississippi media to do their damn job.
    And can we please stop excusing bad behavior? It's not BFD when a college kid double-flips the crowd off on camera after a loss. It would be a guaranteed suspension with any college coach with whom I've dealt -- and that's been a lot.

    Apparently not, since we didn't see 12-13 reports of such incidents this season.

    The rest of your (unquoted by me) post reads like the ramblings of an aging schoolmarm.

    This is just ME, but my interpretation is that a different reporter learned some things that he or she was afraid or unwilling or unable to publish. And that said reporter communicated those facts, upon the condition of anonymity. This may not be laziness; this may be confirmation of the repeated accusation that the local media is complicit.

    I have ZERO IDEA what the truth it, but just trying to think why the writer would use an unusual construction as such.

    If that's the case, that should have been mentioned as it fortifies the shallow viewpoint of the writer, and the attribution was poor and disingenuous. But I don't get a sense the writer was privvy to any inside access, even in the Mississippi news media.

    Cleveland would have been all over this. It was a sad day for Mississippi sports journalism when Rick left, though I completely understand why he did it.

    Like I said, if a newspaper or someone else wrote this piece or something like it, Craggs or Scocca would have destroyed it. I was mistaken, though: It's actually Petchesky.
