[Supporting characters include] Tim, an already jaded, near-alcoholic gossip writer with no boundaries, ... Blake, who has chosen gossip as a way to rebel against his rich Upper East Side society family.

If those jobs were back in the city of Burlington, I would no longer be in favor of supporting the lawsuit.

No, sir, that's been tried. Some city council members have already talked to him. I get just as frustrated as you are.

There is just a problem with the way Ted was chosen -- they didn't follow due process, ... No one knows if Trevor appointed Ted himself, which he had no right to do, because the player reps are supposed to vote on it also. The biggest concern is, no one knows what's going on, and that's a fact. Scott Mellanby , who is a player rep, had no idea that Ted even got an extension, and wasn't even allowed to vote on that. We realize it's not everybody, but there are some players that are unhappy. It's a terrible way to start the season.

It is people like Tim and his writing that made me want to get into this business. Everything he did was with integrity and class. He was fair in his criticism and in his praise as well.

The favorite is always the No. 1. I can win. Blake can win. But the favorite is the No. 1.
