wally just makes stuff up, right after nolan was hired he was spreading a rumor that we were going to fire richardson and hire pat foster away from houston, but that houston was paying foster a million dollars per year. a fellow broker was pat fosters stock broker he called several of us into his office put foster on speaker phone and i heard him in his own words say how over the top ridiculous the story was, he didn't make close to that and of course wish that he did.

That is part of my point. He can state his opinion on matters all he wants. But do not report inaccurate facts that the casual sports fan will take as the gospel truth. Isn't that irresponsible journalism? What if columnists report inaccuracies in their news stories? Oh wait.....

the foster story is significant, the democrat ran with the story prompting nolan to storm into broyles office demanding an explanation (according to frank deford's story in sports illustrated). in turn orville henry reached out to wally telling him how irresponsible it was to report the story that had no basis in fact, to which wally replied...."if you saw the kind of numbers and money that me a john robert star were getting.....blah blah blah"

that was at the height of the newspaper war.

in fairness the democrat from that point on was cut off from having access to the program, but in reality the democrat never had access in the first place.

from broyles lip's to orville henry's ear's. if it was coming from henry you knew it was coming from frank
