Re: Pitino Show

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.eastlink.ca>]

You are very welcome Aimee.  Russell was a fine guest to have on the set.
Listening to WEEI today, there was speculation that Russell was brought in
to take a little bit of the pressure off Pitino.  Now, Ordway is even
questioning the motives of the most successful player in history.  Wondering
aloud why he has chosen to come back to Boston now after all these years.

He failed to mention that Russ was also invited to work with the team
earlier in the year.

A caller was upset with Russ for not signing an autograph for his son on
Flutie night.  He said Flutie was signing them and Russ should have also.
He went on to say that Russ wasn't rude, but rather just brushed him off
when he approached.  Radatz defended Russ.
