The fear has been that he will end up moving on to a bigger basketball program, but if that does happen, this event will delay it by at least a couple years.

Firstly,Mr. Kennedy's civil case lawyer, Richard Katz, seems to be primarily a sports agency proprietor. Personally, I would feel more comfortable in Mr. Kennedy's shoes if my lawyer didn't come out with stuff like this: "We didn't just dream this up." "Without our input at all, what are they saying? As far as I'm concerned, 2 and 2 equals 15." "(Kennedy)...had a few drinks, there's no question. But he was not intoxicated whatsoever." "Andy has taken too many arrows. It doesn't make sense." Secondly, the witness, Mr. Strother, received the backing of his boss, Jeff Ruby of the eponymous Steakhouse, who said, “Only one person has an incentive for not telling the truth, and it’s not the driver or the valet.” Mr. Ruby has another claim to fame (and integrity), having chucked OJ Simpson out of his Louisville branch, saying he did it for the Goldman and Brown families. My feeling is that Mr. Kennedy, unlike Mrs. Kennedy, is screwed.

But Wright acts like he pretty much hates Obama by now, and Cheney's view of W has always been an open question. So maybe the valet and the cabbie are actually on better terms than either of those pairs. I was tracking right with ya until the last sentence, Observer.
