Is Leon really this petty or is this just some colorful language in an article?
I think the author was taking artistic liberties.
Obviously Sheridan is "making the news"...There's no quotes around his statement...I'm absolutely positive Leon had no idea that Sheridan would say that...It's just the BS Twitter-type world we are now faced with...Anything goes as long as it sells!
Of course, that doesn't mean that Leon won't be psyched heavily to compete against us...I'm sure he was hurt big time when we decided to move on, how you say, in another direction...For God's sake, I was deeply hurt and I didn't have so much as a farthing down on the table...
I just hope he gets well, and does well, and we win...pretty simple.
