Not sure what is so "weird" about the butthurt. Sports journalists are the butthurtiest of butthurts when they don't get 100% access to everything.
Yep, sports journalists, print guys mostly, confuse themselves with investigative reporters. It's is hilarious how often they literally invoke Watergate as reasoning for access when something like this happens. I heard some print guys mad that FSU told reporters on Saturday night that Jameis Winston wouldn't address non-football issues, it's a current pending legal issue FFS, but that didn't stop the butthurt.
Chelf is a senior, no? If you want to limit access to the young and dumb then that's one thing. If a kid has been in the program for 4 years and just beat the #3 team in the country, let him talk.
There are 12 year seasoned pros that run into trouble with things they say to the media, if you don't have to deal with the potential aggravation then why would you? There are coaches like Saban and Snyder that talk without saying anything but the hypocrite media won't call them out because they are afraid of being squeezed out. Trammel knows full well that Gundy can't squeeze The Oklahoman so he's grandstanding. He wouldn't have written that about Barry Switzer's OU teams. You think RGIII wishes that he wasn't forced to talk to the media right about now?
I say all of this as a former media member and a J-School degree holder
