Have a link to the dead dog story?
He was being called on the carpet regarding the problems of the Knicks and Rangers when his phone rang. It was one of his kids. The family dog had died. He blew off the meeting with the owners (Cablevision? Can't remember) and went home to console his kids.
Nice story, but although he ostensibly told it to show which priorities are most important, he also cast himself as a moral hero. What a great guy. He should have kept this story to himself.
I'm thinking that he won't be holding himself up as a model of virtue and honor in regards to this recent act of cowardice.
