Poor timing on article

Thu., Sept. 25, 2014

A classic cliché states, “Timing is everything.” Well, the “American Profile” supplement in a recent Spokesman-Review is a great example of blown timing. The fluff piece interview in the “Upfront” section on Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was the featured story the day after Mr. Peterson was suspended by the Vikings for allegations concerning discipline of his children.

I wonder if the interviewer would like to have a do over and conduct another interview?
