well, suspicious sure, but I think Dan Pastorini was telling the truth, and sounded from the heart as I listened. I don't think he or Bum would play charades with us.
I think he called into the radio as he also knows Barry Warner well and wanted to set straight the misinterpretation of sequence of events he was hearing. This just fed one of our suspicions of what might occur. we won't know that till Monday or latter, but soon.
I think Pastorine said it had been last year since he was at a practice, so it is plausible, he could have wanted to go again.
If asked, wouldn't any Dad support his son, I think that is what Bum did, support his son when questioned. heck, many of us already speculated separately that Wade might be a good DC for future.
I think it turned into PR willingly as a circumstance of the current situation, but not planned in advance, to help his friends. That is being a good friend.
If a friend turned up at my workplace unannounced, I would invite him to lunch as well, so that doesn't really surprise me. At lunch we likely would talk about friend things, family, remember when stuff, not work.
And we have a fair bit of security where I work, but if a friend showed up, security would stop them, call me, then I would say , yes, let them in.
Not sure about press conference happening, didn't hear it personally, seems reasonable to have two supporters answer questions if available even if spur of the moment.

Wasn't trying to bust your chops and I appreciate you passing on what you heard. Misplaced anger stemming from me being completely fed up with this team. Horrible management, horrible coaching, horrible everything, and everyone who has the power to do something about it is just fine with all of it. McNair is fine with Kubiak, Kubiak is fine with Frank Bush, Bush is fine with Kareem Jackson, Eugene Wilson and every other crappy defensive player he trots out there. I'm just sick of it all and the idea of either giving up my tickets or paying to watch another year of the same next year infuriates me.
As I said above, I've now come to the conclusion that McNair is not a "win at all costs" guy, but a "win my way" guy. He wants people he personally likes and respects running the team. He wants guys he enjoys being around and that represent the team and the community well. Same goes for the players. There is nothing wrong with this and it is even admirable in a way. However, he should have the courage of his convictions and tell his shareholders (i.e., fans and ticketholders) the truth. Tell them we may not always put the best product on the field, but we will always have the best product off the field and that he is willing to make this trade off. If McNair's morals are this important to him, he should show some honesty and integrity himself by being truthful, open and honest to the people who are shelling out their hard earned money for this team. Once everyone knows where he stands, then people can decide whether they wish to support it. For a guy who constantly promotes the importance of having the right kind of people, to me, basically lying to your customers for 9 years is considerably more duplicitious than any backup player getting a DWI.
