3. Bet it all on Red.

Treliving is rolling all the dice. And, as someone who had firmly been in the 'Fire Treliving' Camp, I have to give him credit for it.

Because the reason I wanted him fired was because he had always seemed unwilling to roll the dice, how can I fault him for doing exactly what I criticized him for not doing?

He got there in a roundabout way, no question.

But now we can be sure of a few things, they're going to raise Holy Hell in this league for the next 2 to 3 years and hopefully it pays off because after that....the Bill comes due and we wind up back at option 2.
Nice analogy but you got it wrong. When you bet it all on red there is no dice...haha

I wanted him gone because he built such a wimpy-ass team. and thank god he didn't participate in the Eichel sweepstakes.
