Press Box fights or screaming matches

Anybody remember Richie Pace and Dub Fricker getting into it over seating assignments at the Final Four in Atlanta?

There used to be a female reporter from the Orlando paper on the NASCAR beat. She thought she was a lot better than anyone else, that the regulars were just a bunch of bums, etc.

She went off on a long rant one day and started telling everyone how good she was, how she was the only one with a shred of integrity and how she was going to be the standard by which everyone else would be judged.

She concluded with: "I'm so good, that if you look in the dictionary under 'R' for reporter, you'll find my name," she huffed.

Without a moment's hesititation, Bruce Martin looked at her and said, "Ah, that's the problem! I was looking for your name under 'C.' "

I believe said woman is now writing takeouts for the New York Times. Not excusing her snottiness, but she was right about her ability.

Why doesn't someone just say who the heck it is?

I'm guessin' Cousin Jeffrey is right. Except for singing the fight song, this has Maryland-Northern Illinois 2003 all over it. (Though hadn't NIU already beaten a top-25 team?) And some of the writers who had finished were howling too. No respect at all.

If you had to go with the whole gang theory, i'd said the New York gang is always good for an assk-kiicking session at any time. There is a lot of resentment among the scribes that is built in from years of bullshirt.

NIU crushed Frasno State in 1990 or thereabouts when the Bulldogs were a top-25 team? Something like 73-14 or so?

Might be time for Double Down to check back in and give it up to the curious masses. My money is still on ULL and A&M
