    Telander in Q/A:

    "I think athletes can tell by my body language that I feel it is very important to stand in front of the people I write about, even after extreme criticism, and be held accountable. I think they can tell I’m not running away, whether that’s stupid or not. I believe the code of manhood—being reasonable, fair, strong, sympathetic, independent, and, if needed, present and accounted for—is critical. How can we ask of our athletes that which we won’t perform ourselves? ... Did this all happen because I understand jock-dom, respect it, and Kreutz knows I played? I think that has something to do with it. But being a man and acting decently toward others is not the exclusive province of anyone—big, little, athletic, dork."

    So true. But I couldn't help but wonder if it was also a dig at Mariotti?
