Thought the same thing. However, I'm curious to know just what Watts is prevented from saying. Given Bell's reference to the Garrison dismissal, I'm assuming that he (Watts) wants to issue a statement of support but can't.

That's a common thread through Queen Ann, Garrison, and him. If you're in that position and playing the political game, you play your cards close to your vest.

That's part of the problem, no one really knows what the hell is really going on for sure.

You are correct, that no one on this board knows what's going on. But if football was safe and there was no chance it would go away, do you really think Dr. Watts would allow everyone to twist in the wind like this? I mean, he may get his jollies messing with the idiots (like me) on this board, but if he toys with the Mayor, Council, State Reps, etc., he may create some bigger problems for himself. MHO

If football was safe we'd be scheduled up through 2019 or 2020 like everybody else is.

Anyone that doesn't think this threat is real by now I have no help for them. You would not be seeing what we have witnessed over the last coupe of weeks if it were simply message board rumors.

That's right.....

And if they were just rumors, someone high up the food chain would silence them.

The silence is deafening.
