Thank goodness the officials don't have to be subjected to all that.
This is kind of off topic but during the first war in Iraq the commentator George Will was talking about the press' coverage of the war. If anyone remembers, General Schwarzkopf would hold a press conference every day and they were always shown on TV back here in the United States. Everyday the General would open by saying something like...... Ok guys we aren't going to answer any questions concerning troop numbers, troop movements or battle plan strategies or anything else that might put the troops in more danger..... Of course the first question out of the box would invariably be....General. how many troops do you have stationed on the southern border of Iraq? And it would be followed by several more idiotic questions just like it. Of course there would be no answers given. And every press conference was just like that. George Will said that the American people were just dumbfounded and surprised by watching these press conferences every day because they couldn't believe that the press could be that stupid. Will then said that....What the American people don't understand is that this is the way the media has ALWAYS been in these situations. It's just that they are seeing it for the first time. Pretty funny I thought. Last edited by sj; Tue Jan 30, 2007 at 02:58pm. |

Every time Lovie Smith or Tony Dungy gets in front of the press you wonder how long before some sportswriter asks, "How does it feel to be the first Black coach in the Super Bowl?"

My all-time favorite is the time a reporter asked Tom Lasorda how he felt after Dave kingman had hit three home runs against the Dodgers. I doubt if Lasorda said three words in a row, without profanity.

Rex Grossman has called the media "ignorant". Better have a great game Rex!
I loved Prince's press conference today. He said it was not going to be what everybody had heard, he asked for questions, and before anyone had a chance he started playing. Way to go Prince! |
