I read it. Sounds like sour grapes to me, Joe. Interesting that he didn't have the courage of his convictions to say this during Jeter's career.

I do not blame anyone for not talking to the media. They aren't exactly stellar examples of honesty and ethical behavior. Jeter's not wanting to be misquoted and have a firestorm of media surrounding him while trying to do his job makes perfect sense to me. Some people are private; some want to see themselves in print. It's everyone's own choice, and no one asked the media to hang around waiting to talk to them. That's the chance you take. If you know some star is not likely to talk to the media, why wait?
