December 22, 200421 yr Author details? Well, the Press COnferance isnt over yet and no one is carrying it live that I know of. Basically, he his filling a wrongful terminataion lawsuit. Boresa and Bernsie have been saying all afternoon that right after he got fired that he was the guy to watch. He knows stuff that Trib Corp. probably doesnt want to get out.
December 22, 200421 yr Author George Offman reports that Crum is a wistleblower. Crum had a 3 hour meeting with Hendry during the season saying that the head trainer at the time did not have a Illinois trainers license. He also told Hendry that Greshner (sp?) often acted unproffesionally in the trainers room and his treatment of players may have made their injuries even WORSE!

It makes sense.... especially when you look at Prior and Wood's injury problems...
December 22, 200421 yr Author It makes sense.... especially when you look at Prior and Wood's injury problems... Exactly. I have a feeling more will come out as time goes on. I dont think he wants to spill all his beans in his first press conference. Why give the Tribune Corp. time to prepare a defense? Spring the good stuff on them in a trial when they may not be expecting it.
December 22, 200421 yr Author Crum's lawyer said that during the entire 2004 season, Crum was the ONLY trainer on the staff licensed in Illinois. He says Crum was fired because he called out Greshner (sp?) for not being licensed.
December 22, 200421 yr Author Crum also said that during this meeting, he brought up 30-40 other problems that existed in the clubhouse. He also added that Hendry apperently didnt care that Greshner wasnt licensed because he never acted on it. Crum just added that he went to Hendry, the Stadium inspections were going on. All someone needed to do was ask for a license and the whole staff could have been shut down.
December 22, 200421 yr Haha, you have to love it. Crum said that he feels that the lack of licensing by the training staff almost definitely translated to worse injuries/recovery by certain players on the Cubs team. Knowing they came up a few games short of the playoffs, that's gotta hurt.
December 22, 200421 yr Author At the very end, Crum was asked if Dusty knew about all this. Crum said yes, but Dusty was told to keep his mouth shut.
December 22, 200421 yr That's an old story, no one thinks that guy has any credibility. He got canned, now he's crying like a little b****, what a girl.
December 22, 200421 yr That's an old story, no one thinks that guy has any credibility. He got canned, now he's crying like a little b****, what a girl. Anything that makes the Cubs look bad is OK by me. Keep on crying little b**** keep on crying
December 23, 200421 yr Let's just hope steroids are not involved. Remember these fellows came from SF the home of BALCO.
December 23, 200421 yr Author Let's just hope steroids are not involved. Remember these fellows came from SF the home of BALCO. I have been thinking the exact same thing. I wonder if that is something that he will bring out in court.
