I don't know if this was the thread it was in or not, but seems as good as place as any.
In one of the Peyton threads, there was some back and forth about how publicized this story has been over the years--some said it had been a lot, others not so much, etc. My impression was that it had definitely gotten some press, but not much.
But I'm driving this afternoon, and hear Mike Francesa in NY talking about it. He said he had never heard a word about it until just now. Do with that what you will, how clueless he is, whatever, but has been the top radio broadcaster for 20 years in the top media market in the country. Hadn't heard a word about it.
