Well... again... no denying him being a grade A prick and line stepper in the Belichick way... And I'm with you... give the controversy and the titles all day long.... but again.... if you were THAT worried about the data base info, go after him in a legal sense... why try and be stupid and sneaky and end with someone thrown in the Fed?
And while you may not need the database, all the other info is of use, and is damaging to the Astros (as far as trades and personal evaluation goes) And I would not be concerned with the image so much as the potential fallout because of it... But we will see how it all plays out I suppose....
