Sorry Kitchen but rehashing conventional wisdom isn't beat coverage. This is about what we would expect of a poster here. Add to that the guy is just a hack on the page.
And in the end it's a reporter's job to answer questions rather than just ask them. If he doesn't have access, he is no more than a blogger.
He does have access, and he's courtside at every home game and in every press conference.
I know that he traveled to most games within driving distance.
I'm not anti kitchen or anyone else. I've discussed this with him. He has zero budget to work with. Just pointing this out.
Not saying you are. I don't think many people realize how little support he has from 810.
If our website were to attempt to solicit a press pass from the AD, we'd probably have a larger budget to actually do what he does.
Of course, me having a press pass would be an absolute joke to the world of press-passery. And I wouldn't be able to drink before games, which is unacceptable.
