The worst and likely scenario is his input has led to a lot of the **** moves we've already seen. I'm sure he disagreed some of the time, but not enough of the time, otherwise he would have looked for work elsewhere or Ernie would have gotten tired of him.



Agreed.

Nice guy, perhaps. However, he's part of EG's staff (and is, therefore, also culpable.) He needs to go right with EG.

Yeah I don't want anyone from Ernie's staff staying. We need a clean sweep just to make sure the virus doesn't grow.

On a separate note, Buckhantz saying Dragic is from Yugoslavia is wrong. It's like calling a Syrian an Ottoman because it was formerly part of the Ottoman Empire. It doesn't make sense at all.

People still call Iranians Persian and the Persian empire fell 1400 years ago

The Persian Empire fell in 651. The Ottamon Empire fell in 1922. Yugoslavia dissolved in 1990, four years after Goren Dragic was born in Yugoslavia! Not at all the same as "calling a Syrian an Ottoman," and Buckhantz didn't even say Dragic was a Yugoslavian, only that he was from Yugoslavia, which is undeniably technically correct. It's not the same thing as calling Mads Mikkelsen a Viking (though he may play one on TV).
