Yippee. Who cares. The worst news I heard this week was Brodsky’s interview from Arizona concerning him being more involved in the team and that it is not for sale. And by him stating he is being more involved, that means that his lackie son-in-law will continue screwing up and this team will never get better.
I guess I saved a grand now that I don’t have to keep my promise to buy my seasons tickets again.
âWe think he brings a little bit of everything that we needed in our organization.â
I wonder if this means he knows how to be a General Manager?
Maybe Brodsky is going to take over Assistant GM duties from Klippenstein?? What owner would put up with this many years of terrible scouting, poor player development, poor trades, and players quitting and giving up on the Cougars.
Dallas Thompson should have been fired years ago, but Brodsky continues to keep his son in law around.
We need a GM that breeds confidence, can identify talent, and can change the atomsphere within organziation.
This organization is a joke! Can you say 1200 fans next year. I would be the first to line for season tickets if Brodsky sold the team.
Inexpicably, it looks like Dallas Thompson is going to continue to be the GM. I figured he was done for sure after this season and six coaches under his tenure, but I guess not.
As for Brodsky selling the team, forget it. It will move before it’s sold.
