There are lots of things they don't know and there are tons of things that could have happened. O'Reilly could have a heart palpation that wasn't diagnosed yet, his father could be terminally ill and he'd have taken the year off to be with him... any number of things can get in the way of a successful transaction. It's pretty unfair to wax on and on and on about something that COULD have happened. 29 other teams could have all made the mistake (which was what I was quoting in the first place) and my point was that Feaster unfortunately was the GM who's offer sheet O'Reilly accepted. Other GMs had come forward and told Jay that they were making the same mistake, and because Jay was successful on landing O'Reilly he looks like the ass.
Can we just drop the O'Reilly thing already? It's an academic point that really has no base in evaluating Feaster's performance.
