Four minutes too many

Not sure what to make of the Channel 9 piece about the virtues of Clint Hurdle, the somewhat beleaguered Rockies manager.
The gist of the "alleged" piece of journalism – clearly an opinion from the main anchor yet never labeled as such – was that Hurdle should have a lifetime contract.
There are many reasons why Hurdle shouldn't have a lifetime contract. The main one is save for one month, he's done absolutely zip with a franchise whose owners won't spend money.
For now, the complaint will be this. If the Channel 9 dude thinks Hurdle is the greatest thing since canned tuna fish, fine. Label it as an opinion so that people who want objective stories won't be misled.

No one should have a lifetime contract but you Steve.
