Here's the actual quote from Pete today on the issue. Sounds like he's pretty fucking pissed off.
“Let me just start with this, I want to reiterate this again: if we have a long-term injury I’m usually going to come in here on Monday and say something about it, but if it’s week-to-week, or a couple weeks - sometimes it’s very hard for us to know how long a guy is out. That’s the only reason I don’t say that stuff. It’s not for our fans: we want our fans to know as much about the program as we can. It’s a competitive advantage when that stuff comes out early, like about Byron Murphy. So I look around the country and all these guys aren’t playing and it comes out on Saturday, but then it gets out of here early and it’s like…the beat writers from Colorado coming out and saying hey, these guys are not playing this guy. That’s the only reason. It hurts us when it doesn’t come out when we want it to. If it’s long-term and everybody knows this is going to be a long time, I always announce it. But I would just hope everybody could be on the same page. When it comes out early, game-time decision-type stuff, that makes it hard on us.
“Chico will be out. Chico broke his ankle. I think they are looking at consulting with the doctors today. We think there’s going to be surgery and all that. We won’t count on Chico for probably the rest of the season.”
Jude has been the only one breaking news on injuries for the last few years. The truth is that there is a leak somewhere on the team, probably a trainer or staffer or something like that.

Guess they shouldn’t have hired that guy making a career change, Kim Homey.
