What a strange situation

 

[TexasCane90]

Blades is obviously upset about missing the season.....

But if Barry didn’t release it someone else would have

 

[BeastMode]

Who is the sports information director? He might not be it for long.

 

[atlcane72]

Blades might be in his feelings at the moment. I’m sure he wants to play.

 

[htownkidd]

Yawn.

 

[RangerGranger]

Lol props to the young fella. I think Barry would be the first to lie in this situation.

 

[gogeta4]

Whats with the need to put that out ...especially since um has been coy with these things all year. Barry Jackson simply couldve waited till he actually saw the kid make his post.

Sports Information person obviously gonna be in some sh*t with Blades

Yes.....HIM.

Barry is sucka. Trying to make it seem like he did Blades a favor by not saying anything beforehand.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

A player being told he can't play the rest of the season because of a (possibly covid-related) heart condition is a big emotional blow. If the heart damage is bad enough, could be even be career-ending. This might be one of those times that a reporter would want to be a little sympathetic and give the player time to process the bad news, and wait for the go-ahead from the player to be ok with releasing the info.

Secondly, why give UNC the news ahead of time? Let them think Blades is playing and gameplan for that. This "breaking news" isn't going to move the needle any more on a Monday than it would on Saturday morning before the game.

Stunning that the Miami media is smack in the middle of a bad look for the Canes when things are going fairly well...

 

[Angry Ibis]

Barry is sucka. Trying to make it seem like he did Blades a favor by not saying anything beforehand.

And arguing with the player and throwing the sports information department under the bus

 

[WIN]

Don't see what the problem is?

 

[hotshot]

ESPN reporting he was diagnosed with myocarditis during COVID quarantine. Serious suff.

 

[Donsnaps]

Barry strikes again

You really have no idea what the job is for a media member at a major outlet who covers major college and professional sports.

There isn't.
