They back tracked this morning and then played the semantics game. They said people were not listening to them clearly when they stated that "Oden was playing like a jobber, not was a jobber".
First of all, as an adult I have a real hard time using a word such as Jobber. Not sure what one is, but for the sake of argument we'll replace it with bust.
Second, I think the implication was clearly made when you bring the bust (jobber) word into play. By saying Oden was playing like a bust, one would normally assume that to mean you're calling him a bust. Just as if I had said to my boss that he was acting like an asshole, he would assume I was calling him that, or if I told my wife she was acting like a bitch, naturally she wouldn't be very happy.
Needless to say, the lack of any sort of admitting that they could have possibly been wrong, really did lose for me any ounce of credibility they might have had left.
The Morning Sports Page continues to SOUND immature and unproffesional, and I would expect that they will be losing some ratings for the future. Of course I am not saying that Gavin and Chad are immature or unproffesional, that's just how the shows comes off.
