Here's something you might be interested in.
I'm not much of a baseball fan, so when a lot of the sports stations were talking about former Yankee manager Joe Torre and his book, I didn't really care.
I would see him on a few of the talk shows, and just switch to another channel.
Well, for some reason I listened to him talk a bit on his book when I hadn't changed the channel in time. And they were asking about him writing about how they called A-Rod (alex rodriquez) "A-fraud." Some people were telling him, or just discussing in general, the fact that it's in poor taste for a manager to discuss things that were talked about in the locker room or in the dug-out.
And I agree.
Phil Jackson did the same thing when he wrote a book, and detailed the fights between Shaq and Kobe. For some reason, though, Jackson didn't get as much backlash. And, he ended up getting $10 million a year to come back as the Lakers coach (and I can't believe Kobe even accepted that...he should've just quit right then).
It's always weird to me when people remember one thing, and not another. Because, when discuss the Torre situation, nobody is bringing up the Jackson thing.
It's similar to this current Charger player that got a DUI. Everyone is talking about Foley...the Charger that got lit up with an off-duty cops bullets. But, nobody is bringing up the other Charger (Keil), who left a party in Scripps Ranch and was drunk, and died in a car crash.
I would think these days, with Google and all the other ways of researching a situation, a sports show or columnist could Google "Chargers arresting for DUI," and get a whole list of 'em.
Although, their columns can only be so long.
