Starting to pizz me off, Larry. First you say Dooley was the only one available last time around, and that is an absolute lie. It was widely reported at the time that Sumlin not only was one of the remaining candidates, but was VERY interested. Hamilton didn't think he had enough name recognition, and instead put his chips on Dooley...even though he was the least qualified.
Now you want to sell us this BS that you KNOW he's not coming, despite others with more connections than yourself stating that he is.
If you knew, either way, I doubt you'd be saying anything right now.
