I got a TLR autograph when I was like 10 years old in the mid 80's at a game at the original Arlington Stadium. That ball is all faded and barely legible. You know, a lot like Tony now.
If you are going to give credit to Tony for saying what he had to say during the presser, you have to give Marcus the same here. It is obvious what both have meant with their statements.

Rick essentially said they quit interviewing candidates once Tony made it know he was interested. And by that I mean Rick quit interviewing candidates once Jerry told him to hire Tony.
