Keith's injury & contract - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

One thing I don't understand watching Season 6. If Keith was a first round draft pick who damaged his knee, why wasn't he being followed all over by the media? Wouldn't he have done a press conference or any interviews??

His injury sounds just like something that would happen today to the Browns.

Never thought of that, yeah like if Reggie Bush was injured you would have expected him to be in a media circus

Plus, the show was set in Chicago, a MAJOR sports market! You'd think the media would be all over this guy.

I can't remember how it was back then when athletes were hot. Maybe it wasn't like that so much. I don't know. Solomon, do you know? I wasn't into sports in the mid 70's.

My mom said the media was a lot different in that time, not like it is now

Even back then, a #1 NFL draft pick sustaining a major leg injury would've been big news. I think even a couple of mentions of Keith dealing with the media would've made sense. Just my 2 cents...

Yeah, at least Keith's manager should have been shown. We only heard Keith on the phone with him. It just seemed that he went from a somebody to a nobody.

I am with you on what your mom said Solomon. However, like Catlover says, something, at least some attention would've been brought to Keith's injury by at least the local paper.

^ Keith was always doing imitations of Howard Cosell, so it gives you pause.

Didn't Keith or Thelma (or JJ) refer to OJ Simpson and his Hertz commercials in one episode??

I think that was JJ.

You're right - I recently saw this episode again.
