Mangenius' policies get under respected NFL scribe's skin
See, it's not just me.
Gary Myers of the Daily News, who I recommend you read right after you read Glauber first, had this nugget in his Sunday column this week:
Joe Girardi is not the only manager/coach in town who withholds injury information. When Eric Mangini was asked after the game Monday night in San Diego if Brett Favre was nicked up, he double-talked around it without mentioning Favre had sprained his left ankle. At just about that time, Favre was having X-rays taken. When Favre came into the interview room, he was asked if he was hurt. It was pretty obvious because he had an Ace bandage wrapped on his ankle. He stated he just was in the X-ray room, which made Mangini's non-answer look ridiculous. Favre was limping so badly on his way back to the locker room it looked like he could use crutches. Mangini has an awful lot to learn as a coach, including how to be forthcoming. The Belichick act is not working for him. Not every bit of information must be treated as a government secret. What has it gotten him so far? A 15-21 record. Maybe he should try something different.
