    The press releases write themselves.

    I thought that's what Kim Kardashian wanted her bare butt to do ...

    Are there any Dutch restaurants in the region? Where else would they possibly hold the presser?? Maybe somewhere in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, like Shady Maple!

    Rene and Wenger should get along just fine.

    I could see the Union offending him with some Pennsylvania Deutsch fare.

    Even if he ends up sucking, at least it appears to be a somewhat ambitious hire.

    Is there a need for a press conference? I think Sak just wants more free crab fries.

    why not due the annoucement together? why have a non-news presser followed by one with actual news?

    Thanks. The "Dutch" thing here bugs me to no end.

    What is Kevin talking about here? Who leaked the information on Curtin in September and Meulensteen yesterday? How was it "leaked"?

    Kristian Dyer is on the Union's payroll, but also writes for the Metro. I mean, how does a reporter from the Metro get these scoops before the likes of Tannenwald or Kinkead?

    To be honest, it would look sketchy if Kerith Gabriel wrote those articles.

    If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the Dutch have a hard time controlling leaks.

    I'm guessing Kristian Dyer, who broke the news on metro.us, works for the team in some capacity.

    Scooped by Dills. :p

    Uncomfortably close to the truth of the hiring, I suspect.

    Even though I have the logo to the left, I'm not impressed as long as The Sack is running things.

    Sugarman will be making an appearance. I don't think I've ever heard the man speak before.

    I wish. He is just really awkward. Talked to him at the draft.

    First season he rode the train to the game once. I thanked him for getting us a team as he was getting on the shuttle. He seemed very confused to be recognized.

    Yeah. Don't get me wrong. He seemed nice enough. He swung around tslking to fans towards the end of the second round, thanked us for being out, and commenting that he thought we fot a good bunch of guys.

    Reminded me a bit of Ralph Nader in regardness to awkwardness while still being friendly.

    Those were my guesses, too. Wonder who told them to let Albright finally get some camera time?
