I heard Monson on the radio the other day saying he was proud of his
"media brethren asking the hard questions" during the Dennis Lindsay interview when Tyrone Corbin was not picked up after his contract expired. I heard the questions during the interview, and I was fine with the first time an uncomfortable question was asked, but when they kept repeating their questions over and over it just got annoying. He seems to think that asking annoying, controversial questions is good journalism. It can be, but just because its controversial doesn't automatically make it so. Good journalism is asking relevant questions that elicit responses that the public wants to hear. And I really don't care if Hoffman thought Riley was a bad QB. That's old news, and frankly irrelevant. I'm more interested in hearing how he was able to find so much success at BYU while having a new QB every year. That's maybe a better way to frame the question without putting his interviewee on the spot.

I mean, seriously, if you were an athlete, would you trust or want Gordon Monson to interview you? Spence Checketts, sure, but not Gordo. Wouldn't trust the dude. I still think he has good perspectives from time to time, but I wouldn't trust him to interview me.
