The SID was just covering for Frank Wooldridge making the players off limits.
You know what would show that these guys are good reporters . . . if one of them would ask Frank Wooldridge at his next press conference just what the eff Dalonte Hill does to deserve $450K a year. But, they're all too chicken crap to ask a question like that.
they've completely failed to adapt to the changing nature of sports journalism (you can read that as if it were in quotes, if you like, chum1). game stories are obsolete. they prolly were really interesting for people to read about 30 years ago, when they heard a game on the radio (or didn't) and that was it. they're not interesting to read for a fan that watched the game, and if he wishes, can read the box, watch coach/player interviews, and game discusso on 15 different message boards within 30 minutes of the game.
they need to quit printing the same formulaic crap that no one reads and start thinking of how to provide interesting content. they could do it through provocative questions, but there are numerous other possibilities too - write on trim-style game experiences, write luke winn style hhbbiq for the masses nuggets, write bball nerd style stats breakdowns, write d scott style player worship pieces, write stalker style recruiting coverage, write hs coach on a bbs style coaching analysis.
anything really, just don't write the same boring crap that they do now.
