Why are you acting like you are surprised? When has Softy ever interviewed a Husky/Former Husky and it not be an on air hand job?
Never said I was surprised, but admittedly I listened in case something tangible was discussed.
In my view, Softy's best moment is when he gave himself an on-air thrashing for advocating to give tyrone a 4th year. Although it was too little too late and it was the least he could do, when is the last time a member of the media actually said "I was wrong and stupid"? It actually sounded heartfelt, and like he really meant it. Again, I am NOT giving this guy a pass for all the softballs he has lobbed to coaches over the years, and his love fest with everyone around signing day's OL failures makes me barf. However, nobody else from kjr, espn radio, seattle times, pi, news tribune, everett herald would have given themselves such a beating.

PS. And you don't need to talk to me about baird. I've locked horns with him on air in a very real way.
Okay, I agree with that, but here's the problem... Did Softy learn from it and change his ways? There he was a couple years later alluding to the Half Brains by saying that the people out there who won't jump on the Sark bandwagon must have something wrong with them not to see what's going on.
