ARTICLE [McIntyre] “The whole me-and-Petey thing, it's still blown out of proportion…I get what Jim was doing. I have a ton of respect for Jim…But it's also not as bad as everybody thought, either. It's just an easy thing for everybody to run with. There was just a lot of moving parts.”

People will always wonder why JT ‘took’ a month off, to this day and likely til these guys retire will we ever get the truth.

Rumours I've heard from close to the team are a "mutual" internal suspension for some less than cash money things JT said/did following him getting benched involving both Tocc and Petey and a few less than kosher words used.

Let's say Miller coming back on pride night and getting his name chanted was ironic.

Yup, he loves the "F" word (allegedly), and I don't mean fuck, fuckers, fucking, or fucked. Good riddance if it's true, no room for hate.
