    This. If these players can handle playing Oklahoma or Texas or West Virginia in road environments, then they can handle questions from media.

    There are hundreds of better paths to choose in this head-to-head with the press and others that preceded it. The only logical explanation is Gundy is just an asshole.

    Sounds like ESPN Insider content to me.

    I had a really good conversation about this with someone else in the business the other day.

    My belief is that you MUST have some "motherfucker" in you to survive in media now. The way people can come at you on social media...of course, no one should be allowed to say some of the things that get said -- particularly to women or minorities or those who are heavy -- but you cant stop it. Of course, these reporters should basically tell Gundy/OSU to screw off and ask and ask and ask some more. But it invites so much return fire and bullying.

    I understand why people give in. You're just trying to make a living in a business that's supposed to be fun. Getting piled on over and over, it can be exhausting and force surrender.

    If you are real media, you sure do. Fanboy media is too busy slobbing the coach's nob to have any motherfucker in them.

    I hate fans. I hate fanboy media. I hate half the people that read my shit. So, yeah, I guess that makes me a motherfucker because I don't give a fuck what they think, say, tweet, blog or squeeze out on the toilet.
