There is an assitant coach who was upset with some critical things I wrote about his team's performance in week 1. And sure enough, he went to the old, "I wonder if he's even played football before" line.
What does that have to do with anything? I can't see something as obvious as a quarterback running for his life, play after play? I can't tell you one of the biggest reasons TEAM A lost was their QB had no time to throw from the pocket ... because the last time I played football is 14 years ago.
Maybe I should turn in my press credential today. The closest I've been to participating in an athletic event in the past decade is a pick-up basketball game or 18-holes at Springbrook.
So, I guess from now on I'm not going to take anyone's harsh words about my writing to heart. Unless they've written for a newspaper before. Because they obviously just can't understand.

Keep up the good work jeremy. I've enjoyed reading your stuff - you do a great job covering the lima sports scene.
You'll never keep everyone happy. Keep that in mind.
Thanks for the kind words. Eh, I'm not too worried about it. The guy was just probably still upset from the loss.
All I know, I'm having a blast doing this whole sports writing thing. I hope it comes out in my writing.
