Hi, I'm Gary Thorne and I'm Going To Throw You, Doug Mirabelli, Under a Bus
Misunderstanding or no misunderstanding, talk about blowing up the spot… If I were a pro athlete, I'd be scared to say anything to Thorne at this point. I mean, did Thorne not realize (a) what a shit storm he would cause and (b) how unfair that was to Mirabelli? I guess he didn't, because he dropped it in such an off-the-cuff manner, but to my mind you'd have to have a head full of gravel to not know that was going to be a hornet's nest.
