Spray on tan drops the ball...again
As many of you know I am a huge Bengal fan. I admit the Bengal's are an acquired taste. In the few years that I have been following them as a fan I have probably experienced more than my fair share of disappointment. I have come to realise that heartache comes with the territory. This isn't the first time the officials have influenced the outcome and it probably won't be the last. In some ways it has become routine. Up until this season I always felt like I had an ally behind the mic. Unfortunately the guy we have now is more concerned about his appearance than doing his job. I shouldn't be surprised after all this is the same guy who openly talks about using a spray on tan. I, like many of the fans, turned the radio on after the game to listen to the coach's reaction to the blown call that played such a key role in the outcome of the game. I was shocked when the question was not asked. Spray on tan tried to justify it by saying he was protecting the coach from a fine but his job is not to protect anybody. Journalist are required to tell the whole story. There are times when they must ask the hard questions. Neglecting his job to stay on the coaches good side is cowardly and wrong!

I agree completely. He needs to not worry so much about his reputation but his job. Some times in life you have to do things or ask questions you don't want to. That's life. Even if theres only one game left he needs to step up and do his job.
I have one question about his spray on tan - he said that he wants to look good, and I know that he is at the games, but how many people are actually looking at him. He's a voice on the radio.
(I know that he shows his face more than I am aware, but still...doesn't it seem as if he's a little full of himself)
Oh, and Phill - I completely agree with you. At least if he wasn't going to ask the question he could have just not said anything about it. The fact that he tried to justify not asking the question at all shows that he knows that he should have asked it.
