He starts with the hypothesis that Pioli is leading a dysfunctional organization. He surrounds that hypothesis with facts and stories that he believes supports his case, and those are based on facts/stories collected from over 2 dozen sources. And then in most of those accusations, he provides a counter-response from Mark Donovan or Ray Farmer or someone else in the organization. Of course he's going to pick out quotes/statements that are most interesting. But it's not like he's twisting their words. All those quotes are fair and, my guess is, when they read this, they're not going to complain that Babb somehow misrepresented them. The quotes seem accurate and fair.
So again, I don't understand your beef. Considering the nature of the subject, this seems to be a very fair and accurate article.

I did make a comment that he hates Pioli, and that was a stupid comment. I don't know his personal feelings about anybody, so that was a lame comment to make.
The point I'm really trying to make, though, and I still stand by, is that Babb is making something out of nothing because all he had was nothing and he needed something, so he created it with whatever data and information he could dig up, just like all media does when it's got nothing.
The simple fact of the matter is if it wasn't for Matt Cassel nobody would give a shit about any of this. That situation, though, is just fueling the fire for articles like this when they really don't have anything to do with each other. |
