Sittler doesn't realize he is being recorded...He is trying to get Bill Young to talk and in the process calls John Blake a 'slapdick' and says that Donnie Duncan told him (Sittler) that Blake was hired because he was black.

That is pretty funny. I noticed Young didn't bat an eye when that was said. If it was untrue he should spit that drink our of his mouth Cosmo Kramer style.

2 things - First, Blake is a slapdick. Not only a bad coach, but a crappy person. Second, if Duncan told Sittler Blake was just hired because he was black then he should have written a story about, not used it to get a story. Sittler will probably take some heat for this and he should.
Credit to Bill Young for not taking the bait and staying on the high road.
And whether he knew he was being recorded or not, Sittler is still a journalist and should be more professional.

I don't know how you think you aren't being recorded. Young is still standing at the podium with microphones and cameras for a bunch of different news outlets sitting there. Heck, there is big one sitting right in his face.

John Blake wasn't the most camera and media attractive coach; however, what was his record against the TEXAS LONGHORNS?
