TIGERS OF A DIFFERENT STRIPE: Optometrist husband and wife rooting for alma maters in...

I have a whole bunch of questions about the "newsworthiness" of this report :)

But my biggest is --

Did this doc pull a panzer and call up the press to have them come in, or did they have empty air time that needed filling, and happen to know this doc already (maybe a patient?).
Has sports reporting ever been, or even meant to be, objective? Which in a way, makes it more interesting.
