Re: Interesting response on the enquirer article

[Michael Ryan]

From Lance McAlisters website today (Friday) - 

"Paul Daugherty joins me at 4pm"
"Paul Daugherty tells me emails are running at a rate of 10-to-1 against 
him......he says only the rational people are agreeing with him :)"
- - - 
I'm still wondering if fans are mad at Daugherty or Cox ? Cox is the obvious 
response. 
If Daugherty would have interviewed Huggins, wouldn't fans have been
happywith the article.
Is it guilt by association since he interviewed Cox ?

The mistake Daugherty did make as a journalist is not getting a quote from 
Cox about the 'gun' comment he made, so it will be interesting to hear a 
response by Doc to that thought. Many folks I've spoken to (of various 
races) were more upset with that comment than the other.

You all know I'm a big Huggins backer (especially given the fact I just 
dropped off another shipment of shirts to DuBois and the Montgomery Inn), 
but I'm also wanting to be fair.
