Frank, who can stop him? He probably had one of his energy drinks prior to the mass firings

Hate to see anyone lose their job but I never cared for Raffetto's "Suffolk South" transformation of the MD condition book. I also never cared for the way he snuggled up to Robert Cole whenever he got a chance.

I thought MJC was fairly happy with Raffetto's performance considering what he now has to work with. Then again, maybe that on-air interview with Steve a few weeks ago did him in....

I know quite a few horseman had less than nice things to say about Rafetto and his policies/treatment of them. That was enough for me to not like him. Without the horseman there is no show.

Not to me.

You find me a horseman that believes he's more important than the players and I'll show you a horseman that doesn't get it. And I'll also find you at least one Hall of Fame trainer that will absolutely agree with me.
