Don't get me wrong, Ed. I'm definitely not for the reporter and have never liked the Slantinel.
As far as I'm concerned it was not a battle worth fighting. A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.

I don't know about some of you, but personally, I think Coach has shown remarkable restraint. He has had several personal discussions with this individual and he has shown himself over the last 5 years to be, in this Gator's opinion, a reprehensible jerk and had a lot more coming than he actually recieved. I don't know if you all have seen the complete video's of both Deonte's interview (it lasted 10 minutes) where this jerk took one answer that fit his agenda and the video of of Coach Meyer confronting him. Coach did not shout or use profanities, was just very firm in his statments and walked away after having his say. It might also interest you that this guy has changed his blog entry 3 tiime since posting it after the blow up to try to cover his ineptitude. If you want to try to imply that Coach Meyer has a problem, you might need a lot more fact and insight before making that judgment.
