I'm actually thankful about the local media coverage of Griffin. It helped me to stop listening, stop following. I definitely noticed a link between media comments and fan slant/discussion on message boards. Too often I heard speculation and opinion passed off as fact and often time heard "reports" that were later refuted on the record by team officials yet the perception of the erroneous 'report' remain.

I was especially turned off by the coverage of Mike Shanahan and the revisionist history applied to his tenure. Another key aspect that turned me off is the insistence that Griffin changed the offense in 2013 and didn't do read option, a fact that they conveniently leave out of their narrative is the fact that Griffin did read option in 2013, in fact he did it a lot.

Anyhow...I slipped up and listened the other day and heard Thom Loverro? getting in his last licks, and having a laugh the whole time.
