>But it’s portrayal of West is more puzzlingly extreme and distorted. West was >(and is) extremely intense, but it is fueled more by pathological and self >destructive anxiety, not insecurity or assholitry. I guess McKay just wanted a >comic foil, but it’s kind of mean spirited to leave such a negatively defining >imprint on such an important and tragically unhappy figure. As a fellow WVU graduate (‘96 v ‘60) and Kanawha Countian – “Zeke from Cabin Creek” is geographically inaccurate; he grew up in nearby Chelyan – I will just provide the response from long-time WVU beat reporter Mitch Vingle, via Twitter: I’m weighing in on the “Winning Time” controversy over Jerry West. I’m an ex-journalist so I get why West hasn’t sued. Won’t work. Neither will asking for an apology. That said, West deserves respect. West Virginians know what a terrific man and story he is. Doesn’t deserve this. _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
