    Dumbass,

    The calculus of the situation is this (actually, it's basic math, not
    calculus):

    Toyota-United is a D3 team, with the associated budget. Worse, they
    rely on individual sponsorships sold in $25-100 increments to
    supporters. You can imagine that this might limit the budget somewhat,
    and I'm sure Frankie ain't cheap. Simply put, missing the Tour de Nez
    was a convenient excuse to unload budget.

    Being an attorney you know the real reason for his silence, he knows that
    Frankie is thinking of legal action and doesn't want his works to bite him
    later.

    I felt really bad when I had to terminate a distributor that I had known for
    years and could only tell them that it was "business reasons" for the
    termination. It sucked but they decided not to sue so I received a lot of
    attaboys from senior management.

    Maybe. Then again, there may be more to the firing than his pr person
    states. Do you beleive Tucker wasn't all that aware of Frankie's testimony?

    If it was for legitimate business reasons, there would be no grounds to sue.
    What was your senior management worried about? I've not renewed contracts
    for business reasons and had no problem telling the contractor why. Never
    been sued either. I've also terminated contracts for business/legal reasons
    and given those reason in the letter terminating the contract; was sued and
    I then won summary judgment.

    Tom, I'll say this for ya. You always swing for the fence. Your on-base
    percentage sucks, but damn, you do connect on one once in awhile.

    Still waiting on the quote from Eddy about the Tour he didn't ride for ASO
    payment. Found it yet, Tommy?

    Maybe. Then again, there may be more to the firing than his pr person
    states. Do you beleive Tucker wasn't all that aware of Frankie's testimony?

    Brian, a friend knows both of them (Sean and Frankie) and he says that he heard
    that FA's contract allowed him to miss one race. He had missed three at the time
    that he got fired. Whether that was simply an excuse or not (due to lack of cash?)
    is unknowable at the moment. The testimony didn't enter into it.

    That's interesting because Frankie said he only missed one race, Nez.
    Unless he missed others but was "excused" by the master.
