No one wants to be on record IF Bryce figures it all out. Plus Olsen has to remain somewhat impartial as an active announcer.
As to the Tepper trash talk, I think he came into the league trying to swing his big brass balls around and quickly learned (I hope) that he'd do better and make more money by shutting TF up and letting the professionals make the decisions. Maybe not quickly enough, but I think he has stepped back some.
