Post subject:  Vinny Press CONFERENCE.
I had to laugh with Mac with all the retred reporters , names from the past who showed up at this press conference for Vinny today and the media outlets they work for and that I have never heard of.

Names like Les Grobstien (who I like), Tom Shaer, Pat Bentkowski, Mitch Robinson, to name a few. Johnny Morris and Tim Weigal were also rumored to be there. :wink:

Way too much time spent on a coach they will fire after a 2 years anyway. Get on with some baseball talk already .

The Blackhawks will be the Winter team with all the headlines and bouquets being thrown at them and they won't get this type of coverage.

Johnny Morris is dead?

Pat Benkowski is an asshole. A few weeks back he threw a full beer at some girl's head at TCs because she asked to repeat the question or something.

I knew Weigal had worn a plad suit to the grave. Couldn't find anything that said Morris was a goner.

Johnny Morris isn't dead, but he almost died from an aneurysm over a decade ago.

Currently Johnny Morris has more life in him than the collective cast of CBS2 Chicago's 10PM staff.

Obviously, Vinny's coaching prowess will obviously be lacking. Obviously. Have you ever heard a more desultory performance from a coach in front of the media? I think Vinny used "obviously" four times in one sentence. That was obviously embarassing. And Steve Kerr deserves a who you crapping award of the week. Kerr said "Vinny interviewed well". With whom? A wall?

I hope MJH didn't interrupt with drops or commentary during the interview. If they did, Teddy would probably be on their case. :wink:

Where was Red Motlow? He was busy getting an exclusive on the Sky I'll bet.

Who are these organizations that Shaer and Bentkowski worked for
anyway? "TSN Interactive" ? WTF? Can anyone just create something, and get credentials.

Why can we get credentials for CSFMB?

More people know about this site than Shaer's and Bentkowski's outfits.

You can almost make up a newspaper or website and get press creds. It wont work for everything (say, a World Series game). My buddy used to write for the Chicago Flame (UIC's indy student newspaper) and he has a "site" that he writes for, which is more or less a blog. He's gotten press creds for Fire games, Bears' family nite at Soldier Field, a State Radio concert, a few Local H shows.
