great use of the police and media to get rid of a bad boss

Actually, since you used it as a comparison, I never thought that Blount's suspension was because he punched the Bronco, because football players do punch each other - it was that whole "keep punching away at friend and foe while being gang-tackled and carried out of the stadium" bit that sort of sealed his fate.

Once again, Hinton jumps on the "Blogger's Bandwagon" and puts his skaggy nose into something that is not his business... Don't give me this is a public issue because it was documented... Don't give me this , "you have the right to "news"... Don't give me any of "modern day" Politically correct B.S.... Bottom line is that that should remain an inside issue to be resolved by the parties involved... We have become a nation of namby panbies thanks in a great part to the snoopy noses of the media that no longer have the credibility that they used to in 'OLD SCHOOL " times... then, they kept the lid on things and DID NOT SENSATIONALIZE trivial things that DO NOT CONCERN THEM... You, HInton, are among the most prominent that have taken the first admendment WAY TO FAR nowdays... You sit in your scummy tower, ranting and raving about others while very own industry is crumbling into the likes of a fashion or movie critic... there are far to many media voices and words now days and you forget... WE , THE FANS, ALSO HAVE OPINIONS and EVENTUALLY you whole media group will lose it's credibility to ALL the people... You are a part of the very thing that is ruining our society... JUST REMEMBER THIS... YOU ARE NOT THE ALL KNOWING OVERSEE of life... NOR SPORTS... I read your crap for one reason and one only.... to garner much more info to write about in a book about how you ingrate bloggers are making a mess of our society...

I think that Al Davis just found the next coach of the Oakland Raiders.

dude....film381...bitter much?
your view of "snoopy noses" and how today's society is the media's fault is so far off base that it is laughable....tune back into Limbaugh or Savage or The O'Reilly Factor and leave us alone (By the way...how is Limbaugh or O'Rilley NOT media? They both have radio and Television shows that reach 5 million or more people per day. I'd be willing to bet that Hinton has less than one thenth of that audience....Who is the 'media' now ?)
not that i am a blogger (52 years old...minimal contact with the 'media' that you rail about) but where is this Hinton's fault?
Was he the frustrated man who punched another? Was he the victim of an attack? Was he the one who filed the police report? Did he invent 'media scrutiny'? You should write your book about daisies, unicorns, and rainbows if you find modern media so disruptive, distracting, and distasteful.
So Mike Vick and the dogs...what the hell did if have to do with you and why do you care?
Bill Clinton is pleasured by a young intern....what the hell did it have to do with you?
Richard Nixon did nothing to stop a break-in at Democratic headquarters...what the hell did it have to do with you?
Cocaine and Heroin pour across the border...what the hell does it have to do with you and why do you care?
OJ Simpson knifes his ex-wife...what the hell does it have to do with you?
Some of us LIKE the way that the media is in todays times better than the way that it was when JFK screwed who he liked and the media turned a collective blind eye....the way that millions were SHOCKED when they first found out that FDR was in a wheelchair...the way that Adolph Rupp was in the KKK and nobody said squat despite the fact that he was in a position of power over hundreds of young men for 3 decades.
You don't like the ways of the world in "sports news' these days? Fine....don't read the news, read 'Walden'....Watch the Food Network instead of ESPN....attend the Opera instead of a football game....the world of Sport will not miss you and your miserable ilk.

@film381
So you're saying that if Blount's punch hadn't been on TV the news shouldn't have reported it?
It's the media's job to report NEWS. This is news. If Mr. Hinton had sensationalized this, blown it out of proportion in any way, I think you'd have some people agreeing with you. Instead, Mr. Hinton proceeded to talk about the tribulations of the program at New Mexico, and some personal problems of the coach on top of that.
To be honest, this article is more relevant in the wake of the very public fights that have broken out the both college and the NFL. I can understand some kid getting stupid and making a mistake (e.g. Blount), he is definitely paying for his crime. But a coach punching another coach (Cable, Locksley) and seeing no repercussions is somewhat ridiculous - and that makes it even MORE newsworthy.

It's Piece De Resistance...you only contract DE to D' when it is followed by a vowel.

I agree with film381 and blahblahblah.
We need our news to be more in tune with the world but with something like this, you need to them deal with it and then you can go get the inside information that they'll give you. Enough of this real personal crap that doesn't involve the story.

to everybody who says that this head coach, is really not a sports article that should be written, you'd be singing quite a different tune if thie coach that was punched had slipped the punched and crushed the the head coaches trachea.
