Sports media members are not necessarily wrong for criticizing the game, but they should avoid being personal or creating sensationalist headlines.

“When guys deserve to be celebrated, they celebrate you. When guys deserve to be criticized, they criticize you. Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal are exceptional. They're Emmy Award winners. They're the A-listers. They're class personified. They don't get personal.”

Dan believes that sports media figures often opine based on emotional responses to being proven wrong rather than objective analysis.

“I believe it's a large governor and how a lot of people on sports television opine about athletes. They made me look bad, therefore I'm mad. My opinion is emotional.”
