AND THE PRESS WONDERS WHY PLAYERS HATE THEM?:

Junor v. Writer (not me) (John Fay, April 13, 2007, Reds Insider)

Ken Griffey Jr. got into a bit of a confrontation with a writer in the visitors' clubhouse at Wrigley. Griffey was talking to a Nike rep. Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Light, came up and asked for a few minutes. Bissinger is working on something for the New York Times.

Griffey said he was having a conversation. Bissinger said he only had 20 minutes. Griffey basically said too bad. Bissinger said "you're not worth it" or words to that effect and walked away.

Actually, it should be called "And The Players And Press Wonder Why The Public Hates Them?"

I suspect most sports writers hate sports. Also, Griffy pulled a hamstring walking back.
