He wears a mask while he’s all alone outside of Mckale to do his stories. Maybe that makes him bitter.

I thought some of his reporting re FBI stuff was anti-Miller and not exactly accurate.

He needs the same message as current Kanye West does. Being controversial isn't a substitute for having quality work.

P12 deputy commish explains the protocols to him like a child and Kelly doubles down at 3:55. Give this guy his well deserved participation trophy and send him down the road.

Zaninovich said the AD's and Coaches unanimously agreed to 2 full practices. Tinkle before playing us said he was not excited to play and said he wasn't sure how they settled on 2 practices and any coach would agree they need more than 2. At 10:58:

Good lord, what a terrible interview. Kelly didn't appear to do basic research, which led to him asking things like whether the guy oversees women's basketball too and how many practices are required to restart.

I guess I should give Kelly props for making a P12 higher up sound competent. That guy had him very far outclassed. He lays out their Covid protocol for reopening and why the game couldn't be moved and Kelly's comeback was "but I watched the game and it didn't seem fair." K.

I had to tap out midway through, but again, this is such a weird hill for Kelly to make a stand like this on.

Remember when David Kelly reported Marcel Yates was sitting next to Rich Rodriguez at a basketball game, but it turned out to just be a recruit's dad?

Good times.

Look at the local sportscasters in the Tucson market. Are any of them remotely decent? Do any of them produce any kind of relevant content that isn't already available online. Do they ever break stories? They are all irrelevant. All of them.

Well, this calls for a question of what constitutes decent, and who has ever filled that role. My definition is a knowlegeable, competent, professional broadcaster who works hard to cover everything significant, rather than any complacent long-time "personality" who accepts the pay and circumstances of the #70 media market for security. So, I would say yes to long-time NBC sportscaster and Sabino and UArizona grad Dan Hicks, but that was for a short period of time, and it was over 30 years ago. I'm sure people have their favorites, but I'm not sure who I'd add to that. I do have to confess I haven't watched much local TV for quite a while.

It's just a reflection of the issues overall in news today. Controversy matters more than competence and the 24 hour cycle means having to stir things up when nothing really merits a story.

That's what I see in Kelly here. Nothing about this is new or different, but it seems like he's jumped on this issue to make some faux controversy to fill time. Pac Covid protocols are the same as they have been all year, and this is a year that's overall difficult for teams. Games are cancelled right and left so you can't effectively scout or get a rhythm.

It's just a tough year, and while OSU's situation isn't enviable, it's not being handled any differently than any other one. But, the 24 hour news cycle demands a controversial issue, so let's act like this is a big deal.

TheCatInTheHat · Post by **TheCatInTheHat** » Mon Dec 27, 2021 11:31 am

Ugh. Hard to fathom somebody who can be so consistently naive and limited, but also so obstinate. I suppose it's not uncommon for somebody to reject a lifetime of evidence that they lack judgment and also reject any suggestions that they should moderate their comments. Nope; just full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, and oops...heading fast toward that big waterfall again. And he's shot himself in the foot so many times through the years, I doubt he has any toes left. It's just odd that somebody like that would find long-term employment with a newspaper providing them with a megaphone. Not to digress too much from Greg desiring to be the center of attention, but this is regarding his stated opinion that Tennessee's attendance spooked Arizona the way BYU's attendance spooked good ol' Utah St. when Greg was their towel boy. Disregard stats or video evidence about any impact from officiating because, well everybody has some kind of credentials, and this is the story line he came up with...so that settles it. (For the record, it was far from the worst officiating I've ever seen, but it contributed a lot more to the loss than our players being intimidated by a bunch of hicks playing sing-a-long with John Denver.) Anyway, if I was so completely and totally obsessed with all things in the state of Utah that I worked it in to every other column I wrote while employed in another state, I guess it would be logical for people to wonder why the hell I didn't just move back there. Oh, well, I'm sure he's got plenty of money saved up for retirement, so we won't have to worry about him writing until he's 90. Right? Right?

I really think they pulled the plug to quick on Larry K. You look at Larsson and Plummer (at Illinois) along with a couple other guys that left and they had a pretty solid roster.

Maybe this guy can bring them back and I am not sure why they are not better. Decent history and they have fans (can’t call those fans good).

They can win any game they want except when they play us

Larsson, Plummer, and Allen (arguably the best player for Texas). Larry K was a good coach and he had a good roster going.

I always wondered why Utah was not ever better than they were, some years it was baffling. Wonder if it was coach K trying to play NBA ball with college kids and it not working out great because they didn't have many NBA players.

Hansen figured out why Arizona isn't in the F4 - it's because we have too many foreigners and transfers on the team. He conveniently left out that Duke is one of the youngest teams in the country.
