Hence, you don't do it.<br /><br />I credit Ernie for being bold enough to post something like this but a hot day and a tight deadline doesn't justify that type of behavior just because Taylor (a complete moron by the way) decided he didn't want to talk to the media.<br /><br />I know if I ever acted that way, my paper would fire me in a New York Minute (is there such a thing as a New Jersey Minute?) I would also be extremly embarrassed to have to face the editor-in-chief and honestly describe the way I acted too.<br /><br />Sportswriters whine when athletes don't show them the proper respect but respect is a two-way street.

I always said Lincoln's one mistake was he didn't let Sherman finish the job. Here's the reality; today, years after this event, if LT stood next to you, you would soil yourself. Dallas - third fattest city in the US. Down there in Texas, if you mouthed off to anyone it would be a miracle because your mouths are usually filled with some kind of food no one with an IQ over 12 would think of frying, but you guys do. Bottom line, no matter what LT did, Ernie made himself the story. He knows that's wrong and unprofessional and manned up and admitted it. As he said, he screwed up royally. I worked 8 years for CBS news. We get paid to report the news not make it. Ernie knows that. Is Ernie human? Sure. He's allowed a mistake. And for all your BS Texas bravado (if Texas is filled with so many tough guys, why aren't you guys linig up to enlist to serve your country?), a professional needs to act like a professional, no matter how distasteful the subject. I understand in Texas such things as professionalism, class, and education are frowned upon, but up here where terrorists have actually killed thousands, many of whom were our friends, family, and neighbors, we long ago realized that tough talk is useless. We all saw how your hero from Texas got Bin Laden "dead or alive". We were attacked by murderous sub-humans from Afghanistan, that were trained by Pakistan and funded by Saudi Arabia and the "tough guy" from Texas attacked Iraq. Go name a beer after that and drink up. BTW - if your Governor ever threatens to secede again, please follow through. The national IQ will jump forty points overnight. It's wrong for you guys to get our hopes up like that and then stick around.dweez115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389921495587729314.post-62896796260964384022010-05-07T15:21:40.308-04:002010-05-07T15:21:40.308-04:00Hey, "Anonymous" (I can play that game, ...Hey, "Anonymous" (I can play that game, too).

The J-N continues to go way, way down hill. And don't listen to "Anonymous" about the paper carrying your ass.

But it was real, real hot and the media had been standing on the sidelines for hours ... all because they were expecting to talk to LT. It wasn't that LT didn't talk, it's that he knew they were waiting there for him, he laughed at them from afar, then he blew by them. Basically, he acted like the arrogant ass that he is.<br /><br />The rest of the media was MF-ing LT under their breath. Ernie just let it all out.<br /><br />But I promise you this: Not a single witness -- including media members, members of the organization, and some players -- thought Ernie was wrong.
