The Daily Pulse:

Knoxville Syndrome?

Frank Cagle's column this week examines the argument that broke out between journalists, producers and camera operators during Lane Kiffin's announcement that he would be leaving UT.

If you aren't up to speed, Kiffin wanted to read a short statement on camera, then take questions with the cameras turned off. WBIR producer Bill Shory protested, and the argument that ensued between Shory and other local reporters and producers is garnering national attention.

Here are a few links to add to the conversation:
