In the end is this really a big deal? Someone blogs about an athlete who was a jerk to him/her. Wow, shocker. I'm sure there are plenty of blogs out there with very similar accounts of a pro athlete acting like a dick. Personally I just found it entertaining so that's why I linked to it.

Why the animosity towards Tanner and the blog? Perhaps a little bit of underlying jealousy?

Although I came off as dry and direct I don't think working on your brother's blog is badby any means, as you all know I like to call a spade a spade. He is riding coattails, holding jocks, etc. If Tanner wasn't related to Cooley then Tanner isn't interviewing/blogging. This is all a fact. Also I think the post on Cooley's blog was wrong, like Skinny Tee said. Tanner just got really emotional for no reason. If he wants to interview, get use to it. I freaking worked for my college newspaper. I've interviewed important people (st. governor, katie couric, etc.) and sometimes people are mean, but don't judge based on that one situation.

Also Tanner posted on this site to basically tell us he is right and stop this thread. If you go back and read his language he said "don't bitch here, send me an email". He doesn't want bad publicity. Grow up Tanner, this is what happens when you post stuff on a blog. It gets reviewed and critiqued. If anything Tanner should be overjoyed his post is getting this much attention.

Finally, to be in situation that Tanner is in, is great.I don't think anyone denies that. Does that mean I am jealous and I would do anything to be in his shoes? No. Just because I think someone is wrong, and I follow that with facts and reasonable arguments does not mean I am jealous. I think that is a bit of stretch Matty.


One more note, I also like reading the blog, just FYI Tanner. It is usually good stuff. Chris was a pioneer in blogging as an athlete, and now everyone is doing it. But again, if someone is wrong IMO I will let them know. This is just who I am, and this is a forum.
