As we all await for the smoke signals from the Heights, the media world and blogosphere is weighing in on the pissing match. Some of them reference back to this blog, but here are a few of the takes. -- Dr. Saturday reminds us that this interview/flirtation process is standard when ever you have a winning coach. -- Fanhouse thinks that Gene's record of showdowns with TOB and Jags speaks to a bigger problem. -- Ray Ratto thinks both are childish and hurting the players and fans. -- The Interruption guys feel like kids caught in a divorce. ...
