Chris Sheridan...

 ... having a day!

ADDED:  It's the arrogance in the response that is telling, and tells why he likely succeeds in deflecting rejection and thinking himself the best at what he does. Perception.

Veteran NFL reporter Jim Trotter tweeted a bizarre request he received from an unnamed NBA writer on Thursday, seeking contact information for football Hall-of-Famer Junior Seau.

“I am trying to reach Junior Seau to hear what he thinks of the NFL donating $1 billion toward the cannabis industry to study the impact of cannabinoids on treating pain management,” the writer said in his email to Trotter.

Unbeknownst to the NBA writer, Seau is not available for comment because he’s been dead for nearly a decade. Not only was the journalist mistaken in requesting contact info for Seau, but the NFL is donating $1 million toward the cannabis industry, not $1 billion.

For those who are unaware, such as the NBA writer who sought comment from Seau, the former NFL linebacker died by suicide in 2012 and was later found to be suffering from CTE, a brain disease linked to head trauma.

...

Trotter replied to the scribe and suggested he try googling Seau. The NBA writer offered a snarky response, citing 30 years of experience and claiming, “What was the problem Jim? I have been doing this for over 30 years. I prefer to do my own interviews rather than rely on Google.”
