Nobody cares what a head scout (Button did NOT say it) or what an AGM have to say (Weisbrod said it - and yep, should get criticized for it as well), but what the GM says becomes the news. This is something you tell the prospect privately, not proclaim to the media.

It's funny how much heat Burke takes for being the type of guy who likes to hear himself talk, when Feaster is probably worse than him.
At least with Burke, most of the crazy things he says is meant to deflect attention and pressure away from his players.
Feaster on the other hand just adds pressure and attention to his players.
