What a lame excuse. I've shown repeated articles from the past of DOD and his research and statements into why these guys were the players he specifically wanted. Certainly they were all in it together (like ANY large free agent contract for ANY team), but to try to reduce DOD's role in it is inexcusable. That's certainly not how he acted at the time. He wasn't preaching financial responsibility, he was wheelin and dealin and making history as far as he was concerned as the new hot shot on the block.
