[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 480229, member: 959"] I’m not suggesting, and did not say, that Ken or any media should be an extension of our team. What I said was: “.. We have a lot of threads and posts about how coach should handle the media; we should talk similarly about how the media should handle our program. If you’re not onboard with helping us win, fine, but don’t go out of your way to publish inside information during prep week for our opponents and expect to be welcomed into the fold and be given inside information.” I stand by my point. I couldn’t care less if Ken believes it’s important to write this kind of article. A “look at me; I have a source” type article to get out ahead of the news and break it first. My point is that he is the local beat writer of a major publication assigned to cover our team. I personally don’t think it serves him to lose trust and respect from our program as it will hurt him down the line from being informed. Bringing me back to my point about the blurring line between sports journalism and blogging. This type of behavior is something I would expect out of a barstool sports blogger not a guy who’s livelihood is partially dependent on getting information about our program.
