Oklahoma State coach Gundy blasts Oklahoman columnist

[Songbird]

What crazy tangental road has this thread gone down in the last 24 hours? I lost track after page 30 or so.

And by the way, why the insults for posting my opinion, especially about a sports-related issue. Save your sophomoric personal insults for the politics board, where Fenian and JR rant and rule.

People can't throw around sophomoric personal insults on a thread involving a sports-related issue? What SportsJournalists.com have YOU been frequenting?

It's that parallel-universe SportsJournalists.com. Like the old Star Trek episode where Spock has a beard and everything's just a bit off.

In the latest twist, Gundy says he didn't mean to yell but got angrier as his little tantrum escalated.

He also says he knows conversations with coaches didn't occur to contribute to Carlson's column.

Here's the story: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/09/28/gundy.tirade.ap/index.html

Down in the story toward the bottom, Gundy says this:

"I don't want the coverage. Any time the media doesn't want to come up here and cover it or talk to me, I'm for it," Gundy told WWLS.

I think it would be wonderful if everyone laid off OSU for a week. No coverage of practice, the game, the pressers, nothing. No newspaper, TV, radio or web coverage. Nothing. Zero.

What a deckhead.

Less crap for the Oklahoman to have to worry about, too. As was said in the discussion of the Women's World Cup, most college coaches don't want coverage. They want publicity and that's not our job.

So, how 'bout those Oklahoma City Blazers?

What a bunch of ship! If you read the comment in it's context. You'll see that you are not accurately representing what Gundy said. He was obviously talking about "the rant", not the program. Grow the fork up.

Robinson remained the starter, running for two touchdowns and throwing for two more in Oklahoma State's 49-45 win against Texas Tech that preceded Gundy's outburst. He said he hopes he can move on now.

"I don't want the coverage. Any time the media doesn't want to come up here and cover it or talk to me, I'm for it," Gundy told WWLS. "Not that I have anything against them, but this is not some publicity stunt that I tried to pull because that's not what interests me."

Gundy said he loves his job enough that he hasn't been bothered by the reaction to his comments.

 

[occasionally]

Christ, not that "they never played the game," about the media.
Football is a pretty simple game. Coaches try to make it as complicated as possible to cover their ashes and create the illusion, as Jim Mora so eloquently put it, that "we won't know and we can't know."
Guess what coaches ... we do know, and so do most of your knowledgable fans who watch and attend games. And that scares the crap out of you.

Mora's tirade was in reference to a question about the team's pash rush. And his response was, "You may think you know pash rush ... but you ... don't ... know ... and you never ... will."

Saw that ESPN had highlights of the worthless game between Oklahoma State and Sam Houston State. Let it go already ESPN.

Hey Jerry,

I know what he said. He said he didn't want any coverage of him (not the team).

My response stands: it would be neat to see everyone take a week off from covering the Pokes. The thing is, Gundy wouldn't care and they could spin whatever "news" they wanted through their own channels. So that wouldn't be the best thing.

You need to take a chill pill.

And you need to be more accurate.

Yes, but Jerry, you need to show a little less bias.
