Backcountry Intervention Needed

Hes on the phone a lot im sure, but there is no real pressure. 3 wins, 10 wins, its all the same to his bosses as long as players arent getting DUIs.

Tom Holmoe addresses War Beaver

Basically says "I'm a nice guy, don't criticize my job performance."

You disagree that it was Tom's job to get the deal done for P5 inclusion?

Harbinger

You go make a deal with the Patriots to play QB. If you can’t I blame you.

Yep. That would be my failure. I don't have the tools to do the job

Why doesn’t Tom actually address what War Beaver says?

Because he really didn't say anything intelligent.

That would be a double HC violation.
