Though you are in the media, so what is your take on it?
Glad it was Botchford. Would be happy to see him go/get relegated to Lions or Canadians coverage.

It's a weird one. It wasn't in a scrum, but Thornton did say it to 20 or so reporters with cameras/microphones on during Marleau's scrum. It's not like he was having an off the record private conversation with a couple guys.
Joe did say it with cameras/recorders on, he's got some blame here as well.
I don't think it's as black and white as it may seem, but I probably wouldn't have went with it if I were Botchford.
