Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3805995, member: 5798"] I often marvel at some of the questions that the media asks athletes. They think the question is thoughtful and relevant, but it doesn't always come out that way, or is perceived that way by others. Sometimes I cringe at the questions put to Geno during his post game pressers. One of the worst questions I’ve heard asked to an NBA coach was "who is to blame for tonight's loss?" That sounds to me like a writer looking for fodder, ammunition and validation to put someone (a fall guy/scapegoat) in their sights for their pending column. How can you single out one player in a team sport, and put the blame on their shoulders? Any coach worth his/her salt will always take the blame for a loss. Former NFL head coach Rex Ryan was always good at that. He ALWAYS said "put this loss on me". You NEVER hear a coach or a player throw a player(s) under the bus, unless it's Brenda Frese (Maryland). She's thrown her players under the bus numerous times, then put in reverse. :eek: [/QUOTE]
