I had a feeling that this wasn't going to end well. The Toronto Sun's Steve Simmons interviewed controversial prospect Josh Ho-Sang in a Thursday morning-published article, and ESPN's Craig Custance followed Simmons with an equally fascinating conversation, but the whole problem with Ho-Sang is that there is always a "last word" involved.
While Simmons did himself no favors in the "editorializing" department by engaging in a radio yelling match with the captain of the FancyStats movement Sportsnet's Tyler Dellow on Wednesday, he appears to have ticked off Ho-Sang--and his general manager--as well, as the Windsor Star's Bob Duff explains:
Josh Ho-Sang wants to make one thing perfectly clear. He has no issues with Windsor Spitfires general manager and co-owner Warren Rychel.
“Just make sure that everyone in Windsor knows that I love playing in Windsor and I love Warren,” Spitfires forward Ho-Sang said over the telephone. “I have a really good relationship with Warren. He and Bougie (Spitfires coach and co-owner Bob Boughner) have done so much for me.”
If you read a Sun Media article about Ho-Sang and the upcoming NHL entry draft, you might think there were some serious issues afoot between him and his GM. In the article, Ho-Sang, who is black, was quoted as saying that Rychel made comments regarding his play that had something to do with the colour of his skin.
