The story with Condotta was that he was sick and tired of the controlled horseshit the UW athletic dept. does on a regular basis. The UW AD isn't exactly known as a reporter friendly organization. They make coaches and players available when they want. Interview requests for certain coaches and/or players are met with a polite middle finger. Contrast that with the Seahawks and Mariners who make their players and coaches available as soon as they can for media and it's no wonder Bob and Divish begged off the UW beat.
The only dipshits who put up with the UW AD's Geobbels-like tactics are the members of the Doog media. Softy, Baird, Hugh, Kim, Ektard, and Fatters are willing to swallow whatever horse apple Woody, Jen Cohen, Bechtold, and in the past Sark would give them. All in the hope of access.
