"It's Just Good Investigative Journalism"

There's a scene in The Big Chill where Jeff Goldblum, who plays a reporter for People Magazine, is asked by his old classmate's husband, "where do you come up with those stories?" Perfectly deadpan and serious, Goldblum replies, "it's just good investigative journalism."

For some reason, I thought of that scene today when reading the AP report on today's tragic plane crash in New York City, which killed Cory Lidle, New York Yankees pitcher. Right in the middle of the account, this paragraph appears:

The crash came just four days after the Yankees' embarrassingly quick elimination from the playoffs, during which Lidle had been relegated to the bullpen. In recent days, Lidle had taken abuse from fans on sports talk radio for saying the team was unprepared.

I don't know - there's just something about that which feels wrong.
