Having a greater career deathwish than Mike ;-) I stayed in my car a bit
longer.  Grandy came on and said that comparing the notes of the two
press conferences, it was difficult to believe that the two sides were talking
about the same thing.  When Eddie complained about the lack of specifics --
"both sides are just saying, 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah' "  -- Sean Grandy
*did* comment that Milbury seemed to want to be specific at his press
conference but was being held back by his legal counsel.
 
My guess is that the legal beagle was trying to keep Milbury from saying
anything that could precipitate a lawsuit, one that Milbury would have a lot
more difficulty affording than BC.  Such is life in the litigious USA.  From
a lawsuit perspective, there's a big difference between Milbury accusing
Gladchuk of something in a press conference, versus a report of it coming out
in McDonough's column this Saturday.  Anyone wanna bet against McDonough
leading with the scoop on this one?
 
I don't know that much about Gladchuk and have no way of knowing if he's the
good guy or the villain in this episode, but hearing his press conference
immediately conjured the descriptive phrase "empty suit."
