JDG 554027[/snapback] Good time-line summary. A couple of points: Unless I'm mistaken (I didn't see the press conference but read the "transcript" with out the reporter's questions) Ralph's comment about being in negotiations with Levy was "not in the way you phrased it"...or something like that. It could also mean the negotiations are over and the deal is done. Also regarding the firing of coaches...I assume that he told MM to fire TC (and, I imagine, a few others) or be gone. I'd guess that MM actually fired (or fires) TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
