Seems like Broadway was not really interested in having to justify this beatdown.

That was the N&R reporter that got punked. Broadway knows not to talk to me like that at a press conference.
He might look crazy but he aint no fool ....

Thrilla has mind control on Broadway. He tells Thrilla to shut up. He gets quiet, but when Broadway leaves, Thrilla starts talking again.   |

As most reporters know, it does you no good to piss the person you're interviewing off. Just ask those guys that covered Michael Jordan.

Let's hope the Sports Editor doesn't get pissed and start running a series of bad articles.

This was basically a matter of Broadway trying to check the N&R reporter's nutz.
Similar to how a new inmate in county jail gets his food tray taken from him on his first day in the chow hall. If he doesn't stand up for himself and fight back, he might as well check into PC because he''l never eat again.
If the N&R reporter wants to maintain any level of respect from this point out, he will have to ask Broadway about Isles the very next time he sees him ... and then throw in a followup question about Terrence Webb for good measure.
Anything less and he might as well consider himself A&T's newest assistant SID because the only news he will be reporting is what Broadway signs off on.

I think it was enough for Broadway to say "it's not injury related". The reporter should have left it at that.

The guy is a reporter. He ain't supposed to ask?
Then we'll go and complain when we get no coverage or coverage that makes us look like, well, the way Broadway made the reporter look.
Can't have it both ways.

No way. A starting lineman is MIA and the only explanation a coach is giving is that it's not injury related?
That would not fly in any media market besides Greensboro.
If you tried that in SEC country there would be an entire news team posted outside of your locker room, looking for the scoop. Then they would probably uncover 10 other secrets that Broadway didn't want out in the public. And then they would write a couple of stories for good measure of how Broadway appears to be coming undone and emotionally unstable in just his second year at A&T. And then they would talk to some "sources" at Grambling who said he has a long history of demonstrating that same kind of short fuse with the media in Louisiana. Before you know it, Broadway would be waving the white flag and offering to take every writer on the staff out to lunch in order to "clear the air."
Broadway knows he has to pull this reporter to the side and tell him what the deal is off the record, but right now he is trying to see how serious old boy is about his profession.
Do you honestly think Rob Daniels would settled for that?
Hell, who do you think told me how to do the Freedom of Information Act requests so I can see everybody's contract?
Broadway is just testing the waters right now and trying to see how much he can get away with.
