I was going to blister Missouri defensive end Marcell Frazier for childishly declaring he will not be speaking to “local” media this season.
I will not be available to any local media this season. I gain nothing from it. I am still an amateur, not binded to do interviews (yet).

I’ve always been uncomfortable, though, criticizing student-athletes. Along with their amateur status should come a degree of grace from the media for their behavior on and off the field.
Stupidity is an inevitable side effect of being a young male; I speak from experience.
