Not PandR: Speaking truth to morons.

[MFAWG]

There's quite a kerfuffle going up here with the jackasses in the Mariners front office, the details of which don't really need to be rehashed.

Long story short, the illustrious CEO went into default mode after a series of moronic decisions by the front office and blamed it all on the Mediaaaargghhhh:

He actually quotes Mark Cuban of all people in his internal e-mail:

"What I have learned in 11 years in the sports business is that the dumbest guys in the room are always the media guys. Some do a decent job of reporting, most just spew opinions.

The problem here is that this is actually factual. The best recent example:

Feherty getting pwned by the crowd at Whistling Straits:

Feherty: 'I can't tell if this is a bunker. I can't even see a lip'

A dozen or so fans in varying states of inebriation: ' It's a BUNKER! The lip is right *goshdarn* THERE, moran!'

Of course the media at large runs with Feherty's version, and Johnson grabs the lifeline thrown at him after making a very simple mistake that anybody who actually plays has been guilty of.
