What a prick. For a guy who professes a Christian faith, that sure wasn't Jesus-like. But more than just being rude and defensive, he was also classless and unprofessional.
It's now clear that he's taken on more than he can chew as an NFL head coach, and I honestly don't see him around after this season unless we win the division. Anything less, and he's out.
Don't want to get on a tangent, but wasn't Jesus a person who told the truth, no matter how brutal. Sometimes that can be taken as rude. Singletary didn't lie to the reporter. He told him the truth of how he feels about the situation and wants to talk about other things. A guy can only say the same things so many times. The reporter should just check transcripts or previous interviews about this topic.
Is it good reporting to ask a question that has already been answered or is it better to ask a different question that may get the interviewee to reveal this issue? It was a dumb question because the exact question has been asked a number of times already.
So in your opinion, Dennis the sports anchor for CBS should just tell his audiences or the paying customers of his employer to check the internet or other competing stations for information? Just because the question has been asked by other media outfits?
why even have interviews in that case? why not just one press release for all media?
My opinion is that Dennis was unprepared because he could have been more tactful in bringing up a topic that had already been discussed but he was being lazy and didn't want to think too hard and this kind of stuff makes an interviewee feel like the reporter is testing how dumb the interviewee is.
Both of these people have jobs that they need to prepare for. Singletary is basted for being basic at his job and this guy is doing the same at his job. That's how I see it.
