[QUOTE="swampsting, post: 332520, member: 1062"] I don't think Ken asked for Tech. Ordinarily, you get assigned a beat. Unless you're someone who has such a specific background like Dave O'Brien (covered the Marlins for several years before coming to the AJC), you will get assigned a beat. Hell, the guy who wrote Black Hawk Down was assigned to cover the Philly Eagles for a year or two. I got no problem with Ken asking about Clinton's injury. It's a legit story. Clinton doesn't have to divulge so much information and the SID's office, even if there was a worry he would get too explicit about his injury and treatment, should caution him against saying too much. And the columnists at the AJC don't need Ken to ask their questions for them. Schultz and Bradley can get down to Tech just as easily and do. Schultz likes and respects PJ; Bradley respects PJ. Don't know that he likes him, but I think he respects him. They're going to be critical. That's part of their role. And if they have a tough question to ask, Schultz and Bradley will do that themselves. The columnists may ask a beat guy like Ken what stories he's going to write but won't and can't tell him which ones to write or how to write them. It doesn't work that way. [/QUOTE]
