The media has always treated players who haven’t been overly welcoming to the media badly. Look at Jim Rice..granted he was not the nicest guy on the face of the planet, but he came to Boston as an African-American player during the middle of busing riots in South Boston. Obviously he didn’t want to talk to the media and as a result they trashed him. Manny doesn’t really talk to the media so it’s become easier for writers to make things up than dig for something substantive. One thing everyone has to admit is Manny has taken the media beatdown better than most.

I think Bruce is pulling our legs and snagged this from The Onion sports page, ala John Dennis (although his was unintentional)

Same old same old. Those that don’t bow down and kiss the old school media rings get bashed.

The internet will save us all. I don’t need Dave Egan or Shank Shaughnessy to see things for me through their jaded eyes. I get instant feedback with video confirmation 24 hours a day.

I haven’t bought a newspaper in years.

Yeah,that is classic sports reporter representin’. They start – somehow – to think that they are more important than the game. And since they – until the hated internet – always had the last word, they could get away with it. Now, they see their monopoly on the media melting away, and it makes this bunch even more bitter. F*ck ‘em.
