Matt and Miller were irresponsible and reckless yesterday on the radio. Ken Miller said that the reason for the players being in the hospital were because Doyle saw how the players were winded at the end of the five games we lost last season and he wasn't going to let that happen again. Perrault agreed with him.
OK, just how do you know that? What evidence is there that this is what happened? Why are you assigning motives to someone without any proof?
It's like blaming Sarah Palin for the shooting in Tucson without having a shred of evidence that anything she said contributed to the psycho attempting to shoot a member of Congress. Even if you hate Sarah Palin and her politics, you would have to admit that there's no evidence that her rhetoric contributed to the tragedy, if you're fair-minded.
Perhaps the workouts weren't any tougher than previous ones. Perhaps there were extremely rigourous, yes, but not any tougher than previous ones. Maybe there were some kind of supplements involved that weren't taken properly and this combination of things led to the 13 players being hospitalized.
It isn't to say that Iowa hasn't handled it poorly. It has. Ferentz and Barta not being at the presser was a poor move to say the least. But still.
I stopped listening after 5:30 p.m. so maybe they backtracked from that position but I thought the accusation against Doyle and, by extension, Ferentz, was wrong without any evidence.
Maybe evidence will come out that demonstrates their hypothesis is correct. But they shouldn't go off making accusations without evidence. Wrong is wrong.
