One important chapter of the Bronco story (IMO) is the grossly unfair manner in

Agreed. Also unfair how much they gush over Kalani, when he gives us clueless

Bronco would get ridiculed by the press if he gave Kalani like answers.

I thought he had given those answers. Not too mention his old fall back answer

Exactly. Not saying Bronco never said some weird things, but Kalani it's uncanny

I was talking to a HS football coach in VA. He said the exact opposite.

Meh, defamation. Yeah, the press liked to pick on Bronco, but he's a big boy.

The media was pretty tough on him. Fans also had thin skin with some of his comments. Bronco went all in

"Kalani, are you a bad man?" Such terrible journalism in that presser

Gordon Monson was deeply offended by Bronco quoting from the BoM in his first press conference, and he never forgave

dilbert

12/2/19 1:11pm

AND, Bronco shut down practices and severely limited press coverage so local media didn't like that either

BlueFrog

12/2/19 1:12pm

And Whit followed suit, but pretty much never took much heat over it. Now it is just accepted practice.

Turnpike Lane

yep

BlueFrog

What was the quote and why was Monson offended? He's a reporter.

Idahofallsblue

12/2/19 1:20pm

I don't even remember for sure. I think it was a sons of Helaman reference or something.

dilbert

12/2/19 1:25pm

In the state of Utah I wouldn't hold that against Bronco at all.

BleedCougarBlue2

Monson is a columnist, not a beat reporter.

If thats true about Monson getting ofended by a BofM quote

LDTemplar

Monson hates it when people mix religion and sports. It's his biggest pet peeve.

Except he wasn’t unanimously disliked. That only happened in your head.

Calling him a jerk is excessive. Maybe less than cordial at times. Not a jerk

As a former media member who covered football, you’re completely wrong.
