DesNews Article about the TV portion of the game last week. Scott Pierce actually said something nice.

Good article. Actually, he said a lot of good things. And very true things.

THAT WAS WEIRD: The oddest moment in the telecast came before the game began when sideline reporter Tom Kirkland asked RSL coach John Ellinger, "What's going on in the heart right now for the (sic) you?" — and Kirkland patted Ellinger on the chest as he fumbled through the question.
Which was overly familiar. Weird. Unprofessional. A little creepy.
Never do it again, OK?

The above is from Mr. Pierce's article in the Desnews. My reply is--- "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr Pierce, for saying what we all felt 'in our hearts' at that moment of television terror."

I think that the weather spooked Kirkland or something but that was waaaay out of control! 🙄

I wrote him an e-mail, complimenting him on his article. Here is his reply:

You made my day for two reasons -- first, that you actually
recognized the fact that I watch this stuff before I write about it
(you wouldn't believe how many times I've been asked that question in
the past 15 years); and. second, you recognized that I was attempting
humor.

Thanks for your e-mail,

Scott Pierce
