So what is it, Mr. Korman: Are you mad Larry Johnson didn't call you New Year's Eve and give you a special interview? Mad he did not talk to you first after the Michigan State game? Mad he did not call you that one Tuesday in October when you needed a story?

I'm not sure what it is, but you obviously feel the need to rip Larry because he is not the quote machine you would like him to be all the time, because then he would basically write the stories for you with his own quotes.

It doesn't pay for Larry or anyone to talk a lot because it just gets thrown back into their faces with a lot of scathing articles and criticism even if they are telling the truth.

Larry was telling the truth in 2000, but he got ripped to pieces by local, state and national media. Yeah, that would make me want to be really open with the media; how about you?

Forgive LJ if it is just easier to back off his comments and not offer up his feelings all the time because, honestly, with the way you and your colleagues like to write about those players who do, who would?
