I said it before, I'd like to know what vetting process if any was done before Treliving gave him that deal.

I’m not one of the guys who posts fire Treliving stuff all the time here, but this IMO was his biggest failure. I am told by people who have inside info that Neal’s off ice issues were pretty well known and the reason Vegas wasn’t pushing hard for an extension.
