Jenni Carlson today

OK. Jenni Carlson wrote another article today.

The title of the article: Carlson stands by her facts, citing sources, observations.

I read that title and thought Jenni Carlson was going to take her gloves off and actually name her sources for her original story. But, at the end of her article today she writes; "Again, my answer came from sources and observations. I stand by those facts."

She had the chance to set the record straight and tell us where the "facts" came from, but she didn't.

Instead, Carlson spends most of the article criticizing Coach Gundy because he wouldn't go on the record and tell her which "Three-fourths" of her article he felt was inaccurate. Carlson apparently feels that Gundy has insulted her credibility by questioning the validity of her story.

I find it interesting that Carlson is offended and feels that Gundy has wronged her. I wonder if she put any thought into how Bobby Reid was going to feel after she wrote the article that basically questioned his manhood and made him look like a momma's boy who wasn't mentally tough enough to compete on the collegiate level? I think Bobby has the right to know who would say these kinds of things about him. If Jenni won't tell us who said these things, then I think the "source" should be man enough to step up and admit to what he has done. That is, if there really is a source.

Carlson is so concerned about Coach Gundy questioning her credibility that she hasn't listened to anything else the man is saying. Coach Gundy isn't upset with her questioning Bobby Reid's play on the field. He is upset with the way she turned her story into a personal attack on Bobby's character. Just go back and listen to his press conference again.

Jenni Carlson needs to read her original story again and think of how she would feel if someone had written those things about her. She could have written that story without making Bobby Reid look like a baby. From her reaction to Coach Gundy's press conference I think it is fairly obvious that Ms. Carlson doesn't like to be the subject of criticism herself. It sure does appear that she likes to dish it out, though.

I don't know, but maybe Jenni's criticism of others is a way of making her feel better about herself.

I sincerely hope Jenni Carlson hasn't been reading any of the posts that people are writing about her on the sports message boards. If she has been, she will find out that there are a lot of people out there who don't think very highly of her as a sportswriter. She better hope those people aren't mad enough to stop subscribing to her newspaper. She also better hope that she hasn't offended all the other coaches and athletes out there enough to keep them from granting her any future interviews.
