But are those just platitudes?
I mean when was the last time someone got hired and it resulted in dozens of league-wide reactions that were tantimont to recoiling in horror about the hire? I mean can you find a date-stamped for the time of the hire example of overwhelmingly negative industry reaction... When everyone is super, no one is.
I've seen enough bad reputations posthumously whitewashed and enough political honeymoons turn into an unsuccessful marriage to not trust solicited media soundbites. I'm cynical that way.
Like I said I'm vaguely positive about the hire (he said all the right things, and/or none of the wrong things, at his presser, and he has sufficiant executive experience). But I'm not gonna call it good (or bad) until he demonstates that himself.
