[CBFF] Here we go again. What am I to think?

[Jim Ferolie]

If he were to start going into detail on the problem and discussing it like 
we do, then there would be no end to all the clarifying questions. Pumping 
the company line might sound stupid, but it keeps the distractions on talk 
radio and TV instead of in the locker room.

You can't confuse what coaches say and what they do. When we media types 
press and hound them on every little thing they say and we nutty fans harp 
on all the little mistakes they make in the way they talk, we pretty much 
force the nice guys coaches (as opposed to the Parcells types) into cliches.

Now Rex, OTOH, was incredibly straightforward in his news conference. I was 
totally impressed by his candor. Not stupid candor like Ced, but really 
honest, believable stuff.
