I think the last decade of sports "reporting" shows this statement to be false. Doing whatever it takes to get readers/viewers/listeners has trumped quality and accuracy quite thoroughly.I will say this though: broadcasters and radio personalities in sports don't move up the ladder by calling out prominent coaching figures like this. You lose a ton of respect in the news world for saying things like this.

and washington fans. i am sure the hometown fans eat that type of stuff up. it is just a little busch league, a little too classless. but you are right, it gets ratings. i look at jay "missy misdemeanor" mariotti as the guy who is controversial and uses it to gain ratings, and i think this would be even below him. he is just contentious, that guy was just lame.No disagreement there.
