WTKA and the scandal

I often listen to the some of the WTKA morning show while I am doing work on the computer in the evening. I listened for about 5 minutes and had to turn it off. It is one thing to have some homer tendancies and to think the Freep appears to have a vendatta against M or RR. It is another to make that vendetta an actual purpose for existence and making M some innocent victim in this.

On the other side, I read one blog that compared RR's interpretation of NCAA rules regarding practice with his interpretation of his WVU contract when he thought he didn't have to pay back all of that money. There are idiots on both sides.

Look, if rules were broken, let's find out and get rid of who is responsible. If they weren't we'll find that out, too, and the Freep's (and Rosenberg's and Snyder's) credibility will be hit hard as M fans look at it. Next story would be less important.

And stop talking about the whiny athletes and how they don't want to work hard. That is not what this story is about. The story is about 1) (possibly) breaking the rules and 2) RR clearly not having the full backing of someone (fans, players, alumni, AD staffers?).

I had said RR would leave after 6 years. I'm not saying it will happen sooner, but this could be the kind of thing that will force him to split.

WTKA would do the entire story what it deserves if they just talk about the game this week.
