Let's move on.

I did not, at any point, give my opinion of the writer. I gave my opinion of the article. Clearly, with your continued accusations, you do not understand the difference.

This is a nice example of why this site's articles are consistently terrible.

Not to mention the fact that since I write 75% of those articles, I appreciate the constructive criticism

Sorry, tough to not get offended by that comment and your original one, but obviously you can't please everybody. However, you're certainly entitled to your opinion and I can't fault you for that.

Nothing wrong with the article Ian.

Anybody know exactly what Coronel Klink has against BB? The only thing I can think of is SBXXXIX. BB seems to be good friends with Andy Reid.

Did he even mention BB at all?

You're taking "Randy Moss was bad in the locker room" to mean " Randy Moss killed my coaching career and this is further evidence that I hate BB".

The logic doesn't follow at all.

Writing sports articles - specifically editorials - is setting yourself up for failure, Ian. The only way to make them interesting is to create controversy, and then you quickly become ESPN. Your articles are fine by the standards of sports journalism, for whatever that's worth.

There's just something wrong there.

A lot of us have been coaches and to see him break simple rules like owning up to mistakes, coach to coach matters private. Never mind 10 year old kids being able to pick up on these things. We are talking about grown men with degree's from major colleges in the NFL dealing with a clown like this.

Couldn't agree more.

I probably respect and or admire more of the Patriots's worst enemies than anyone in New England...

But Brad Childress is SCUM.

I laughed my @$$ off when Coach Bill finally got a chance to make a move on that CHUMP...and stuck the blade in ALL...THE...WAY!!!

Brett Favre + Brad Childress: MADE for each other!!

Don't you wish you'd stayed in Green BAY, Brett???

But thats exactly what hes doing here: taking a quote about Randy Moss and trying to turn it into some big controversy.

its pretty clear from whats come out of the Patriots, Vikings, and Titans that Randy was a pain in the ass last year. Childress stating that isn't anything more than that.

I appreciate that, although again, I don't fault the negative comment - those make me remember my mistakes so I try a little harder to not make them again going forward, and I'm sure John will probably have that on his mind for the next one he writes.

I was just a little bothered by the fact he said, "This is a nice example of why this site's articles are consistently terrible." As I said, since I write the majority of them on a day-to-day basis - it's nice to hear a little more feedback than that. Otherwise it's tough to make them better.

Moss could have been the best teammate ever, and Childress was still losing his job, and I'm sure he knows that.

I don't know how you can miss the blame shift attempt. It is one thing to know that Moss vomited all over that locker room (I don't think many would argue with that). It is another thing to go to the media and publicly point out his failures. Childress is just using Moss to hide his own faults.

I agree that Childress was out either way, but this is his way of claiming otherwise and saving face.

I changed the channel the second I saw he was on last night.
