Bad comparison. They wouldn’t throw in the dig about being an “aging OT” to a player like Bates. They would just simply keep it to the numbers.
That’s what some of you are not getting. There. Was. No. Reason. To. Say. It. Like. That.
Not to a guy like Whit who was still playing at ALL PRO level, and who had done so much for your organization. But hey, it was hardly the first time they’ve royally screwed up, and it won’t be the last.
