I'm giving him tons of credit for going against these dickheads and going public with the heel spurs. Let's go back to that Sandy Alderson press conference a few months back. The one where he shakes his head and wonders why he isn't already back. BECAUSE HE HAS DEBILITATING HEEL SPURS IN BOTH HIS FEET THAT ARE LIKELY GOING TO NEED MAJOR SURGERY. THAT'S WHY. What a fucking dickhead. They told their star player to suck it up and play through pain, don't mention any of this to the media, then went and trashed him to the press and questioned his integrity. I guarantee you they were shocked when Ces went public. That 24 hour gag order wasn't because Ricco had another event. It's because they had no idea what to say. So they sent Callaway out there to pretend he didn't know anything. The poor guy. It's like they see he's toast, so they don't mind making him look like an idiot. So they regrouped, then came up with this bullshit story. It doesn't hold water. Anyone willing to look can see this. I have not thought about it like this...damn, wow
