Re: Amazing stuff
It's called "off the record" and it happens all the time. It allows reporters
to get the true story without allowing a direct quotation. The writer of the
Herald piece clearly intended for the reader to interpret that Walker thought
Baker should play more. If you choose to conclude something else because you
believe otherwise, that is your prerogative...

That's exactly my point. It seems to me it's the Herald doing the
spinning.
What does "reportedly" and "private circles" mean exactly? It could mean
almost anything.
Reported to whom, by whom? Private circles meaning Antoine's friends and
relatives? Off the record comments to reporters? Or people actually in the
organization? >>
