I imagine we keep hearing quotes from Nellie and Dirk about Steve because reporters keep asking questions about Steve. On balance, (ie., not going on isolated quotes hand-picked by reporters with angles they're trying to support) I don't think either is bellyaching but are simply honestly answering the questions posed to them. Too many fans are all too eager to eat up the implicit media slant of the moment as if the players/coaches are telling the reporters what questions to ask and what kinds of stories to write.
