But it's like this. We (the media) are admittedly constantly pushing the limits of our relationships with teams, players, coaches, etc. Likewise they with us. So we could, for example, maybe go a little too far with the Washington Wizards as far as what we report. And we'd get a call "Hey, we said that in confidence. We don't appreciate what you did..." Ok, sorry. We apologize, forgive, and move on. With the Skins though, and keep in mind this is from my experience with them from 7 years ago, one mistake and that was it. You were done. There was no opportunity to explain or justify. Once they thought you had wronged them, you were persona non grata. You and I both kind of know that first hand.

Any idea why? Did they treat the media this way during the JKC years? 7 years ago would put us right around the whole Spurrier fiasco, and not too far removed from disastrous signings like Carrier, Deion, etc. Possibly this led to a frustration filled, low tolerance approach by Danny and Co? Just my speculation, but I'd love to hear what you know (or at least what you're willing to divulge).
