The Richard Justice article was interesting to me. I didn't realize that some people had that view of Casserly as covering his ass with the media. It's so easy for a GM to take credit for a player that succeeds and to blame the coaches for a bust (and vice versa I suppose). Who the hell knows the difference? I think that's why Gibbs was always at pains to say "It's all of us together, etc. etc.". And Gibbs was a guy who could have gotten any reporter in town, or nationally for that matter, to say whatever he wanted with a 5 minute phone call. He could have had Cerrato out on his ass in no time if he were so inclined.
