What is often misunderstood is a lot of it is friendly banter. Saban enjoys it, so do other members of the media.

To be clear, these are my thoughts on Ian. Period. I can listen to one of the pressers with Saban and can draw a lot out of them that most of those attending these same events seem to miss. It's not hard to understand, BUT, I doubt that those reporters follow things around the program as closely as I do. It's just another example of how that portion of the media is becoming more and more extinct. Whether we like it or not, every reporter has an agenda based opinion...not different than every poster on message forums have their own agenda as well.

I've ran into Ian a few times and he seems like a decent guy. That doesn't mean I respect what he does on his job.

[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 415172, member: 12209"] What is often misunderstood is a lot of it is friendly banter. Saban enjoys it, so do other members of the media. To be clear, these are my thoughts on Ian. Period. I can listen to one of the pressers with Saban and can draw a lot out of them that most of those attending these same events seem to miss. It's not hard to understand, BUT, I doubt that those reporters follow things around the program as closely as I do. It's just another example of how that portion of the media is becoming more and more extinct.
