 | Los Angeles Skipper Morrill Blasts Media Over Bad Press Friday, September 20th , 1963 Suns manager, Bill Morrill, had some choice words for the Los Angeles media today. "Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?" the Suns skipper asked during a live radio interview. "No one cares about reporting the facts anymore. It's all about sensationalism these days. All you guys care about is selling newspapers and driving up ratings. And I'm getting pretty damn sick of it." Morrill seemed to be referring to recent stories that have suggested the Suns struggles as of late have been the result of off-field distractions. One article, which accuses Stan Czerwinski of numerous "extracurricular indiscretions", has been a particularly sore subject for Morrill. "What players do on their own time is their business, but to imply that any of my players aren't giving it their all on the field is absolutely ridiculous," Morrill said, "and to make these kinds of accusations against someone without any proof is just plain irresponsible!" Team officials had no comment when asked about Morrill's remarks. |   |
