[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 10277, member: 231"] I think the fake CPJ personality that many get via the media is a product of two things: 1) his gameday intensity on the sidelines and fiery competitiveness; and 2) the fact that he is not really very good at speaking past the reporter/questioner to the real audience. What I mean by that is when anyone asks a question in a interview or briefing he gives that specific person the response they merit, he is straightforward and honest and its all well and good. But a reporter is a conduit to the public at large and he is not very skilled in recognizing that and using the medium to control his message. The trick (which politicians know well) is to ignore the specific interviewer to a certain degree and give a response aimed not at them but at your constituency in general (Tech fans). This second point is why the press seems to routinely praise CPJ as a person and his demeanor and personality and humor in "off the record" encounters. If you notice Ken in particular (but Winklejohn also) will often point out that when CPJ said so-and-so he was smiling or had a wry grin. That is, they will try and get across to the reader the correct interpretation of a quote that could at first blush seem hard or surly. [/QUOTE]
