As one who has dealt with editorial side of Lee Newspapers including the Missoulian over two decades I can tell you unequivocally that they are totally left. They would make the previous owners of Montana's major papers, the Anaconda Company, proud...their news sections are largely extensions of their op-ed pages.

I have not been arguing against looking at the past. I have been disagreeing with your statement that "everything" is based in the past. It is not. Of course, many things are based on or linked to the past, but many things aren't. That's my point, and that's why what you have been saying is wrong.

Actually, I have complete confidence in myself, so I am not afraid to say what I want. And take on people like you.
I don't think you have any football playing or coaching credentials at any meaningful level. If you did, or had any confidence, you would state them.
No, the reporter did not ask a valid question. That's the whole point of this discussion, and why Hauck reacted the way he did. The reporter didn't even ask a question that made any sense.
Sample's comment was from the summer. I'm talking about this fall. Do you not understand that difference. Also, I don't think Sample knows what he's talking about on this either.
Sorry, you and I just don't agree on this. I know I played the game. Am doubting you.
Do you not know the difference between the weight room and the locker room?
So, Hauck has contempt for the media and the fans, and is an ego maniac? Enough said. You are, and always have been a Hauck Hater.
Bobby Hauck wasn't being a dick. Bobby Hauck is a dick.
Just accept it and move on.
I was going to suggest that people should just embrace it but I didn't want to confuse many of you.

This is how sportswriters in small markets should be.
"Sid Luckman’s feats on the gridiron have been reported in detail. But few know the Bears’ legendary quarterback was the son of a murderer."
"The young athlete would go on to shine at Columbia University and help revolutionize professional football as the star quarterback of the Chicago Bears. But ... “not once, from the late 1930s on, did any reporter, in the sports or any other department, refer to Sid Luckman as the son of a convicted murderer.”
"When he [the dad] died of heart failure at Sing Sing in 1944, the story made the New York newspapers, but none made any mention of the famous football player who survived him."
"Halas spotted the young man’s talent when Luckman was playing for Columbia, and together they pioneered the T-formation and the forward pass, turning football toward the game we know today."
"On a February day in 1936, a Brooklyn, N.Y., jury found Meyer Luckman, a trucking-company owner, guilty of second-degree murder. Luckman had been accused of participating in a particularly grisly crime—the beating death of his wife’s brother, apparently for embezzling from the family company. Sitting in the courtroom that day, just behind Luckman, was his son Sid, a student celebrated on the sports pages in New York for his feats as a high-school tailback."
"Widely admired in Chicago, he [Luckman, the qb] lived a long and seemingly happy life, dying in 1998 at the age of 81. His gravestone in Skokie, Ill., reads, “I had it all. I did it all. I loved it all.”
In a much smaller way, I feel the same.
