Exactly, that was my point. Half of the story. Ok, yes, the Maloofs put out the line that it was a mutual agreement, fine. However, how do we know that in the 5 minute conversation between RA and the Maloof Bros that there weren't some heated words being said by both parties and hung up with each other. Then, the decision was made by the Maloof Bros, who in turn called Petrie (which explains why he said he realized that things were beyond fixing or whatever), then Petrie called Adelman. I am not saying this is what happened, just that it is possible, which is the definition of being objective.
I am talking about after the conversation that may or may not have had some heated discussion between the two.
That is debatable.
Also, VF, while your statements are valid concerning Marty Mac being a real insider for years, my personal opinion of his writing over the years is crap.
