Which stuck with me. Our beat guys like Jim and Paul don't ever really write anything negative about the team. I don't expect them to be super critical of the team, because Im sure they'll be shunned in the media/locker rooms, but I expect at least some level of objectivity and I don't see that. Everyone talks about coaches and players going to teams in a market like New York, and having to deal with the media, I would like our guys to be somewhat tough on the team like those New York writers are. When Mike and Marvin put out a shitty product, they deserve to get asked the tough questions.

The only media people I ever hear criticizing Marvin at least a little bit are Mo Egger and Tony Pike. When they do their Monday show on 1530 they'll occasionally rip him for not showing any emotion or not calling a player out. And how all he says is "we just have to do better" or "we just need to do our jobs". Yuck.
