Yeah, but you can't do that if you actually AGREE with the plan and are actually making the recommendations with loads of statistical supporting data. It's nothing like DOD knew it was a bad idea and just didn't speak up. Nothing could be further from the truth. He spoke up plenty and was right up there leading the bandwagon off the cliff. And I was cheering for it too. A lot of people were excited about their history-making moves. But that doesn't mean it should be stricken from his evaluation or modified somehow to make it look better. Every owner in sports is right there with their GM if a huge financial move is made. Not different here in that respect to that event.
