Steinberg says he heard the contract was imminent, minutes away from being official. If nothing else, Johnny (and his family) got cold feet at the last minute and went back on his word. Sounds incredibly unprofessional.

The insider story here was way too detailed and there was zero reason for that poster to come up with it - it was not a rumour elsewhere before then. And then it got backed up by that clip, Gross’ statement, Teliving’s presser and Johnny’s behavior. JG is kinda lucky it was Treliving and not Burke, who would have been more blunt.
