He sounds and his mannerisms in this clip are eerily similar to Saban when he is upset about something. Pretty funny, actuall
Granted I haven't watched a ton of his stuff lately but I think that's just how he is after every loss. Nothing special about this one

We are closer on this than you think, I was posing some devil's advocate stuff.
The paragraph you didn't understand is in response to those who say the press shouldn't try to see what's going on before any official announcements, that we should wait for the official announcements.
I absolutely detest bad journalism. I also don't think journalists should reveal their sources to the public. But at the same time, they better be f'ing sure of their sources before they go with something. If they worked for me, there better be no doubt whatsoever ... and again, I have to know who the source is, as Sokoloff's superiors should've known before signing off on letting him run this ... or your arse is fired if you and we get burned.

And let me add this, although I don't think it's the situation here. Sometimes sources give you good stuff but caca changes.
Case in point, in December 1980 a lot of papers in Alabama wrote that Vince Dooley was going to go to Auburn. Of course they ended up hiring Pat Dye.
I can only imagine the fun this place would've had with that, but the thing is Dooley was coming. He absolutely had told Auburn "Mama's calling and I'm coming home." But then either he got cold feet or Georgia sweetened the pot or Barbara talked him out of it, but he changed his mind and stayed in Athens.
Of course the newspapers that ran he was coming looked bad, but the information was not bad, caca just changed. So you sweep up the debris and move on.

A lot of things are going to happen until they don't.
I agree that we are probably on the same sides of the coin other than my hope to burn bad sources (for the benefit of good sources and good journalism. I don't give a shite if sources think twice before leaking).
When the journalist becomes the news, he/she is doing it wrong. That includes breaking news where the news changes the outcome. Wrong is wrong. There are a lot of ways to end up there. We may disagree on this one as well (i.e. Herbstreit breaking that Les Miles was going to Michigan... changed the path of Miles going to Michigan. Breaking news: Normandy Beach ideal spot for Allies according to anonymous source).
