Well, one might make the argument that jounalists have over the last few decades become more powerful than they should be. Maybe to the point of influencing the last election. it could be debated.
Condoning the behavior of dennis is part and parcels with the prevalent thinking amongst the press that they are above reproach.
The mere fact that these sports jounalists vote on the Hall of Fame and they have never played the game, for the most part is astounding to me. I love this sport, but for me to actually think I understand it well enough to cast a vote is absurd.
How these Einsteins leave Jim Plunkett out of the Hall is amazingly stupid. His two SB wins override his interception/TD ratio.
I once heard Galloway bragging on the air about a player that called him out for a comment he made in an article.
He had the temerity to say, "Buster, I was here before you got here and will be here long after you are gone."
It was at that point that Galloway became a smll voice to me.
I am not suggesting Dennis is right in the way he handled it. But as society becomes more blood thirsty and wanting more dirt dished on the heroes of today, the more this will not only be accepted, but it will escalate.
The press will deliver the pound of flesh the fans want.
Frankly, I grew up when Mickey Mantle was a hero and his drinking was kept quiet.
I miss those days.
