One thing pointed out at DGDB&D is that Dunta said that Smith told his agent they wouldn't use the F-Tag. Besides the fact that agents are generally less trustworthy than Lawyers, there's definite chance for misunderstanding. Idon't know why RD and his agent would be so shocked, but I would look at it as proof of my value...that can be used at the negotiating table. If Smith really did mislead them , then that aint right. No question about it. I still feel like something gets done though, possibly before the season.
