Thrust into the spotlight with nothing to say
I’m watching Bill Parcells right now, the coach of the Dallas Cowboys, in a live news conference carried on CNN - he’s being asked questions about the apparent attempted suicide of receiver Terrell Owens. He seems genuinely frustrated by being thrust in front of the press and not having any information - keeps having to say “I don’t know” “You know more than I do probably” etc. Tough interview situation.
UPDATE: finally Parcells has given up and just walked out. Pat’s Blog points out that originally the media was told that Parcells would make a statement and not take any questions… instead, Parcells didn’t make a statement and took nothing but questions (and had no answers).
Deadspin has great moment-by-moment blogger coverage of the whole Owens situation.
