Members of the media should be held to a higher standard. Many of you other people commenting here and criticizing Mora are used to reporters being able to ask anything they want while the interviewee has to patiently respond like it was the best question ever. That is not right.

Gottlieb was trying to bait Mora into criticizing a former player or blame that former player for his own professional demise in Atlanta. Mora stood up for his former player and did not throw Vick under the bus – good for him.

Gottlieb asked how fans should respond to McNabb’s return. Mora gave a great answer – the fans are free to respond as they like – which they should be. If Gottlieb asked a FAIR question, like “if you were an Eagles fan during the McNabb era and he came back this week as a Redskin, would YOU cheer him or boo him,” than Mora could have answered THAT question.

I salute Mora for being honest and speaking his mind. GOOD FOR HIM. Sports journalism would be a lot more interesting and informative if the interviewees all did the same (and thus required interviewers to be prepared, think, and ask good questions).

The guy getting interviewed always has to be more careful in what he says than the interviewer. Mora came across more the fool than Gottlieb did and this won’t go away easy for him. He may have to do some damage control here, but probably won’t. He only got high-level coaching jobs because of his father (who is a bigger prick than him) and never earned them. And he is still taking a paycheck from the Seahawks without earning it. Nice life, moron!

The McNabb question wasn’t too bad, either. Don’t you think McNabb should get a warm reception in Philadelphia given all the success he brought to that franchise?

Yet 8 out of 10 comments here are critical of Gottlieb. Please.

Now, let’s get to this prick Mora. What a dick! What is his damn problem? He’s living the easy life off the Seahawks’ money and doing nothing to earn it. Life must be good. Like Ace Duncan 124 says, nobody forced him to do this interview. What an incredible moron! “you’ve been a joy”. That will go over real well in his next interview for that coaching position at his old high school.

Digger, Vitale, and Hubert Davis should be euthanized for their own benefit.

i’d wager that 95 percent of the people at that outfit should be euthanized for the sake of america’s soul, starting with john skipper and gilligan (norby).

Mora Jr.: I came on here to praise the dude, why are you trying to set me up you little prick.

Gottlieb: Gotta go!

stole a teammate’s credit card

Your basic douchebag

I might be a little out of it…..I never was a big fan of Jim Mora Jr, but where did Gottlieb come from? Never heard of him until this post, actually. Should I be happy about that?

played point guard for Notre Dame…stole a teammate’s credit card…kicked off team…joined Okie State…career assists record holder…flamed out in Europe…slowly risen up the ranks in ESPN’s radio shows and college basketball coverage.

not a good coordinator, not a good head coach.

college hoops player, I’m pretty sure. Also, a turd.

Neither guy acquitted themselves well there.

as are nearly all white guys nicknamed Trey. Black guys, not so much.

Depsite his hyena laugh, I like Hubert. He’ll give his former rivals credit when credit is due and is generally pretty accurate with his analysis. He’s not quite put the homerism aside, he had a real difficult time trying to hide his Heel side during the last game at CIS and the Air Jordan 25th Anniversary game with the terrible silver uniforms. Vitale has completely lost touch and Digger is curmudgeonly enough to make Billy Packer blush.
