Hey, I did that gig for many years. I know the drill.
I didn't say the TV station cared. Obviously they didn't.
I'm thinking that with young people sometimes, it should be different. We should be better than that.
An assistant editor for a major newspaper once told me, "If a high school player drops a pass and costs his team the game, we don't print his name. If a college player drops a pass and costs his team the game, we print his name. If a professional player drops a pass and costs his team the game, we print his name and his telephone number."
Only a slight exaggeration, obviously.
And, yes, NAIA is college, but it ain't the bigtime.
