usually do it more than once.
My issue is how the information came about. Why it had to be publicized, shouted from the rooftops if you will? For something completely UNRELATED to why the information was obtained.
Should the league, with this information in their hands have contacted him directly? asked for an explanation? and an apology? Sure. Should someone have leaked it to new sources? no.
Still hearing all this 'evidence' that players thought he was a bad guy, but no one will say anything specific? are you kidding me? these players rant about everything, and they won't step up and give an anecdote that proves it?
