Whopper Alert!!!

An e-mail I wrote this morning:
"Dear Mr. Zgoda
,
Imagine my excitement this morning to read in the Strib that our Iron Ranger finally was acknowledging/accepting fault for assembling too young of a group to compete this year. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" sort of thing.

But wait...pardon my remedial ability...but where does he actually say that he made a mistake? He says they should have won more games (not his fault there), they played terrible on Sunday (not his fault there), this is professional basketball, not a church league (stating the obvious, praise the Lord) and that if a veteran bunch lost this much, they wouldn't be as resilient as this young bunch (no blame there).

He goes on to say he's happy with Witt, and the usual trying to find a few good men out of this bunch

Where does he actually say anything resembling that he made a mistake in assembling this young of a team? Is there a direct quote you left off the article, or is this wishful thinking on either yours or the Strib's part?

The Wolves organization is like the Bush administration...some general acknowledgment of oops, but no specifics on any particular issue.
Thoughts?"

It's always good to get clarification from your local news organization.
