Media members angry about Steph Curry bringing his daughter to press conference

Right. That's on you then.

 

"Criticism for what?"

"Uh ... actually I don't know."

What a fucker. You know the criticism is on Twitter, because you've read it, then you fucking bow out of the question like that? Douchebag. You have a question like that? Ask it, in full, or answer Steph when he asked you criticism for what. Finish the question, finish the thought, or don't even fucking go there.

 

That was pretty weak.

 

Didn't one of the sheep, I mean beat writers say, "For being too cute"

 

This one is pretty simple. If the child goes up there and doesn't utter a sound, it's fine. If the child is active, like Steph's kid, child must be taken away. This is a work environment. Not being stodgy here. Fans take playoffs seriously and media are writing/blabbering at the mouth for entertainment of the fans.

Decent column. JF's perspective was intelligent. He "gets it."

 

Will James Franklin bring the hot moms of recruits in front of his microphone?

 

A recommendation: Listen to Windhorst's most recent appearance on The Lowe Post podcast on the ESPN Radio app.

Lowe opens up asking him about "the elephant in the room" and lets Windhorst speak his peace for several minutes. It's a pretty thorough explanation. And, as the topic-starter here, I would characterize Windhorst (can't speak for Skip Bayless and the other few media members who spoke out) as being displeased but not angry.

Windhorst essentially said media aviliablity is limited. People want to hear from players. Children being there changes the atmosphere. But it's OK if it's celebrating a Finals win, All-Star Weekend or other "family-oriented" events/games.

 

I tried to cover a house fire once, but it was awful. I couldn't concentrate with all of the sirens. Didn't they know I had a job to do?
