And I absolutely think an apology was owed. Milam and others were probably just fortunate that a tech didn't make the same mistake when they worked at YMT. I'm not excusing it, calling it what it is, a mistake, a bad one, but Paula Deen and others need to chill best way to make a mockery of the comment is DO something about it on the field to change the perception/truth. Look, I'm going to get slammed for what I'm about to say, but it doesn't make it any less true. Johnson Central has done NOTHING on the field to change anyone's attitude. When they win a title, or two, or 3 like Belfry and Pikeville and Highlands and Cov Cath, they can howl at the moon all they want. It will have been EARNED. Call me a nattering nabob of negativism, a hater, or any other plethora of names I've already been called. It's the TRUTH until it is changed. And for what it is worth, although I used to love Sports OT, I don't like it now. Haven't for several years.

Just to be clear I was coming from the station's point of view on this. I could care less about what was said, and I agree with you, Johnson Central has had some really good teams, but they haven't laid claim to what really counts, championships. After I retired from coaching, I started working in the press world and I know how serious they take stuff like this. They will actually bring everyone in a room and explain that unless you have a weekly column and the content has been approved, then nobody cares what your opinion is. That's why I knew the hell they'd probably be getting from this, regardless of how trivial it is. Just to make sure your covered, its really best that you don't express opinions like that because you never know where one of your bosses graduated from? Haha
