Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 3509370, member: 1245"] I messaged them directly to thank them for the program which I enjoyed. FWIW The most surprising thing to me is that the beat writers apparently have never had access to a practice to have a first hand opinion on the potential play of Richie Springs? They were only parroting Hurley's comments to them. By extension, the same must be true with regard to Cole's ability to run the team next year. They didn't even seem to have second hand commentary from other players about the play of Springs or Cole either. The second surprising point is that their knowledge of the team seems limited to the information collected in their formal interviews of players. With regard to Sid Wilson, I would have expected them to infer that they had insight into the issues, that there was nothing major, both parties would benefit from a fresh start, but it was up to Sid or the staff to disclose any details. Instead, they were speculating with no special insight. Except for Vital's level of confidence, their insight seemed limited to what they have written. It seems Hurley holds them farther from the program than I would have expected. Probably not news to many of you, but I assumed they knew things and sort of self censored things that Hurley would want to keep close to the vest. [/QUOTE]
