Re: (Alleged ) Ex-Pats Employee is running his mouth- Claims serious allegations
SMY - As always - Great post and thanks for the info.
Hey all --
I'm going to try not to give my opinion on this too much, just wanted to share with a few things:
The Pats definitely know about this; one of the PFW writers told me about it after practice today and they were just floored at what he had done. Here's the thing (one of the things) he forgot when he did this: he has likely put Paul Perillo, Andy Hart, Erik Scalavino and now Mike Parente's jobs in jeopardy. Regardless of what you think of them, they don't deserve to lose their jobs because of what Casale did. Belichick is going to be none too happy to have that information out there, and he could very well go to Bob Kraft and say they can't fly on the team plane anymore. So then Kraft has to decide if he wants the extra expense of flying the PFW staff separately all the time, and possibly having them stay in a different hotel all the time. PFW does turn a profit currently, but having to buy (at a minimum) five round-trip plane tickets for every road game will get costly quickly...
I haven't heard of *anyone* who works in the PFW office or interacts with that group that isn't happy to have Casale gone. He really was a toxic presence and not at all a nice guy. Personally, I didn't like him at all and think that his little post is quite possibly one of the most classless things I've ever seen.
And for what it's worth, Tedy has always been nice to me. Can he be moody sometimes? Of course. But if I had people asking me the same questions over and over again I would be too at times. I also had a good relationship with Corey Dillon...
