am i the only who thinks suzy colbert's (colber?) kinda hot?

i remember joe namath(?) made a move on her...haha

edit: n/m...i think a lot of people think she's hot

[spurastic]

My DVR stopped recording right after she asked him if the win was "tainted". I don't know how he responded.

He said "I have nothing to do with that, that's the NBA. It's unfortunate the way it happened. No doubt about it. But it happened and it's done."

[Man of Steel]

He said,

you, you nappy ass ho!

no. You're not the only one. Personally, I think she's damn HOT!

[mikekim]

yeah...then tafoya said "Fair enough"....as if tim was trying to dodge the question...

that kinda annoyed me, but not much because afterall, spurs had just clinched the series.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I started a thread about this after the game, but it seems like most people thought I was being unreasonable.

I will state also that Tafoya, Gray and Sager do this all the time, not just this once. It is their modus operandi...

[Darkwaters]

As I remember he said something like this:

"Do you think this series is tainted" - idiot reporter

"You know, I have nothing to do with that. The league made a decision and it was unfortunate, but I just play the game." - Duncan

[Sec24Row7]

He should have been like... "In the immortal words of my good friend Rasheed Wallace, 'Both teams played hard'"

What's so wrong with asking the question that is on the minds of everybody watching? Everybody and their mother, even though they "knew" what Tim was going to say, still wants to hear it. Question asked, question answered. Reporters aren't to assume anything, much less the answer to a question such as this one on the minds of the viewing audience.

Did she continue to pursue it once Tim responded? If she did, then fine, chastise her for beating a dead horse, but if she didn't, what's the harm?

[spurster]

I thought it was a reasonable questions, and TD gave a great answer. Is everyone supposed to be Spurs homers?

No harm in asking-same as there is no harm in some people feeling that Mic e's question was an unnecessary and/or stupid one.
It's a matter of judgement calls, personal taste and opinion- something everyone is en led to.

Mic e had her say and now we're having ours.

[AFBlue]

Yeah he basically said it was an NBA decision and that he had nothing to do with it...said it was unfortunate.

I think the first part is totally missed by alot of people....as if some how it's the Spurs' fault that Phoenix players did what they did and that it's the Spurs' fault that the league reacted the way they did. Bull question to ask anyone other than the League or players who commited the suspensible act.

[angel_luv]

I don't think it was a baloney question.

Mic e thought that was "the story" and went after it.

I would have focused on another subject- this I know because never once has it occurred to me that the series WAS tainted- but as a journalist that might have been a mistake since the tainted angle is a hot topic right now.

Had her say? I fail to see where she injected personal opinion into her question.

But you're right, it's your opinion, but I feel the "dumbass" and "modus operandi" comments are over the top.

To those of you calling them that, what questions would you like me to ask of the Missions and Cardinals this week when I'm writing my stories? What questions would you not like me to ask?

So should she avoid the question then?

Read my second post, crazy Asian.

And why so defensive?

A team just closed out a tough, emotional playoff series and you ask them if it's tainted? Stuipd and disrespectful question. Let the pinheads in the studio and the fans on the forums/radio shows discuss this IQ lowering scenario. Don't insult one of the best players in the league after closing out a series.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

You do know what I've dedicated the last 13 years of my life to learning and crafting, right? We're not always right, I'd never say nor believe that, but I do take exception when journalists are insulted and ridiculed for doing their job.

[angel_luv]

Again, why so defensive.

I am saying that as a journalist she is writing or interviewing to get HER
story.

As long as she is ethical and doesn't make stuff up or plagerize, she can put whatever information she wants into her story.
That is the freedom I give her.

My freedom is to listen or not listen to her interview and like or not like it.

People or agreeing or disagreeing with Mic e does not make her less of a journalist. She had a story to share and told it. I listened and have formed my own opinion on said story- that's the true freedom of the press.

So you'd rather the commentators speculate about what the star player of the team thinks rather than getting his opinion and then analyzing his statement?

I don't see it as ridicule.

I honestly feel that if everyone always likes every story you put out, you are probably NOT a good journalist.

You can't please everybody every time.

On the same token, since everyone's opinions, taste ( in writing style etc) and temperments are so different, it is unfair to expect people to be pleased every time.

Why don't you read what I wrote?

Disagree with them all you wish...but I'll be damned if I'm not going to provide the other side of the argument in something I feel I'm well-versed in.

[conversekid]

So should she avoid the question then?

Yes. And she expected Tim to say what? yes, it's tainted... we should give it to the Suns. Or, this championship will mean less than the *99. Dumb asking a Dumb question. Ask about something relevant to the game or the upcoming series.
