I really do I think every single contact adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many fans will actually dump their season tickets due to this. What will add up is if sponsors start dropping the team. Jerry Reinsdorf cares about $$$ more than anything.

I mean, they can say that but they're not attorney's nor do they work for the Phoenix PD so there's no reason why an ongoing investigation muzzles their ability to speak on it.

Right, I'm not sure what people are waiting for. We've already heard everything the organization has to say. They're just hoping this won't be a topic of discussion when the season rolls around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’m not and btw I’m not going to stop sharing Al’s Cheesy Beef’s tweets just because you don’t like the tweets. Just joking, going forward I’ll just post PortillosHamburger tweets. ?

35thstreetswarm Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The crazy thing is it's not like this is the end of the controversy - it's the beginning. This is not just fading away, it will rear its head again at the end of the proceeding. "Wait it out" is all well and good if Tony beats the charge, but what if he doesn't? Remember - this isn't a case where there's merely a breathalyzer refusal. The police obtained a subpoena to draw his blood. After obtaining (and presumably testing) his blood they decided to bring charges. It doesn't look particularly good for TLR. If they're going to hire him no matter what (which seems likely) they should just announce it now rather than letting this linger for months.

Eventually TMZ is going to get an arrest video from this and I’ve got a bet with my wife that the next big thing is him doing a Mel Gibson. My wife bet in reply that it will turn out he did a Judge Roy Moore and that will leak out next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
