Cannot be reposted enough. Thanks, spnited.

Yeah. We've all watched shitty games. You just mock them in your own mind, file and move on. I can't imagine what would possess one enough to do that.

Sun-Tines? What the fork?

 

Stupid to start a fight you can't win.

 

The coach let a writer in the locker room to deliver a stern talking to? Wait what?

 

I'm still puzzled how all this came about. Did the coach ask the writer to talk to the team, or did the writer just walk into the locker room and start lecturing them? The story doesn't say.

 

Something unclear about this, too:

(The video was shot by Mike Kosman of websportschicago.com. He wouldn’t speak on the record – he didn’t sound happy with me – and hinted that he would be taking the video down. Update: He did.)

Why would the guy have posted the video in the first place if he didn't want attention drawn to it? Or did he post it because he actually thought the lecture was a good thing?

 

The Sun-Times should have paid the videographer for the video the posted it to the newspaper's site. Think of the web clicks it would be brought.
Then the powers that be could have condemned his actions while still benefiting from them.
I know that sounds like sarcasm, but I'm actually surprised someone in a suit didn't do it.

 

Some of the Sun-Times freelance articles are really poor. I saw a preps article last spring and the entire article had the players for each team flip-flopped and that was only the beginning of the mess.
