As for him not figuring out immediately it was his wife, if I were in that situation I doubt I would immediately jump to the conclusion it was my wife who had done something so stupid. And, even once I did figure it out I wouldn’t want to go public immediately and blame my wife. In addition to further damaging the marriage it would look awfully unseemly to blame my wife.

We know all this, we've been speculating how it goes down because thats all there is to talk about.

Saying we cant post our thoughts here because we dont have all the facts, no shit we're boarders not media members.

Like, I'm not 100% sure he's 100% guilty but the idea that he survives this and everything goes back to functional and normal is the craziest take of all.

edit: lying doesn't hurt his career anymore anyway. he's done as a GM in this league and probably most FO jobs. there's no disadvantage to lie and only positives if he somehow can get away with a coverup.
