I understand frustration w/ regard to press. No one really gets pissed about questions...per se. I think guys know what will get printed regardless of how they answer...and that is frustrating.
That said...come on man, grow up. Its ok to show some fire...but when you throw in profanity to that level, you lose the benefit of the doubt...I mean even if you have a point, all anyone does is look at you and think "adolescent", and then look upstairs, and question the organization's commitment to professionalism. When that happens a few times, you may as well be Dan Quayle, because thats the treatment you are going to get...and then no free agents want to be around that crap...and the death spiral commences/continues.
I wish these guys would treat this job like a school teacher...children ask some crazy questions, and perpetuate some funny rumors as relates to teachers, administrators, and their classmates...the press are generally a 4th grade homeroom class...just laugh to yourself, and try and help them with real information when you can...when one of them gets way out of line with something they print, put 'em in time out (ie snub them), when they ask a crazy inappropriate question, frown, correct them, and move on...sheesh, you make enough money...stop being such a bitch, stop making it about you, and get your head right.
