"You're one of the TOPS at writing speculating articles, so write whatever you want"
 

From Dick Vermiel's press conference. About 3 min. ago.

"You're one of the TOPS at writing speculating articles, so continue to write whatever you want to."

Earlier in the press confernece he said, "Some people make a living on speculation and they are an embarrasement to the media world."

She was off camera so I couldn't see who it was, but I assume it was Elizabeth Merril that Dick Vermiel said this to. She asked him ONE too many times if he would like to clarify his status with the team and his retirement plans. He was very irritated with her question as he gave this answer. I agree with Dick. She writes a bunch of crap most of the time. I'm sure she's a nice gal, but she just makes things up. She's the Nick Athon of her gender.

This from a guy who claims he doesn't read the papers!

I don't doubt it was to Merril, but the sad thing is there's a dozen people in the room he could have meant.

You're right about that, although some are better than others.

It was a woman's voice and I'm sure that I recognized it at hers.

Coulda been Wrong-duh Moss too...?

the chiefs are manic in their dislike of the media.


looks like Vermeil is channeling his best "Rufus"

Not up to the Mora boys' standard, though.

I agree. I thought he doesn't read the papers? :hmmm:

ROFL

McCleon reads the paper to DV while he pushes one out and drinks his morning coffee........

Hicks must be giving Grandpa a Hot Karl

It was a real slap at Merrill. I wonder if she went home and cried?

most of the people in the media don't have emotions

we have emotions, we just push them deep down where no one can see them.

until we find the appropriate moment to release them, like when I hit the referee with a whiskey bottle

They were talking about this on 810. Apparently after the press conference Vermeil went and apologized to Elizabeth and said he was out of line.
