This still isn't the whole story but it will help if you missed it. I saw Gundy when he went on his "tantrum." He was a little overboard on his inflection but he probably did some good as far as the team goes. Was he right in attacking Miss Carlson? Not in the manner he did. But defending his players, yes.
Carlson's column on Saturday suggested quarterback Bobby Reid's demotion was a result of his attitude more than his ineffective play. Carlson wrote that Reid, who lost his starting job two games ago, had not always handled his nerves well and his slow starts put the Cowboys in some early holes, including some they dug out of with Reid "wielding the biggest shovel."
It also called Reid the "most talented quarterback" on the team and indicated Reid was "nicked in some games and sat it out instead of gutting it out."
Carlson began the column by relating a story about Reid's mother feeding him chicken as players waited for a team bus following a road game. Later, she questioned why a 21-year-old would allow his mother to feed him in public. "Most college kids, much less college football players, would just as soon be seen running naked across campus," she wrote.
