The whole thing last night, like I told a few other people, reminded me of a situation a few years ago when the Red Sox signed Curt Schilling. I was watching Sportscenter and they brought in Peter Gammons and told him they had heard the Red Sox called a press conference for that afternoon and asked him what he thought that meant. Gammons responded with something like, “It means the Red Sox have signed Curt Schilling. Teams don’t call press conferences to say nothing’s happened.” I thought that was one of the best things I’d ever heard after he said it. Though I will admit that I’ve seen situations recently where there were press conferences to announce nothing was happening. In this case though, we’re talking about the OC at Fresno State. He had to be announcing he was leaving, because if he was staying, that’s not really news worthy enough for a press conference is it?
I really like McElwain.
