Annapolis, MD (WTF). Annapolis Capital sportswriter Bill Wagner recently had a quasi-testy exchange with Navy Head Coach Paul Johnson. At issue was the perception that Coach Johnson blames players when things go poorly and takes credit when things go well. A mini-kerfuffle resulted when ESPN.com picked up on the non-story story and made a big deal of nothing. However, friends and colleagues of the Navy beat writer said that he has been especially tough on himself lately.
"Yesterday I saw Wags yelling at himself for no apparent reason after practice," said Navy Sports Information Director (and John Lovitz look alike) Scott Strasemeier. "We think he's okay, but I think this national scutiny might be getting to him a little."
One Navy assistant football coach who witnessed it was taken aback. "It was weird, he didn't like the question he asked Coach Johnson so he just tooled on himself like Chris Farley on SNL when he would do those celebrity interviews...it was awesome."
Bill Wagner did not immediately return calls from Salty Sam because Salty never called him in the first place.
