Howard knew EXACTLY who he meant....
Go back into some famous trials and you'll see some of the attorney tricks!!
But..I believe JQ when he says he truly thought they were there to determine Stern had no standing and it would be a simple matter of law. I believe he was sucker punched in that fiasco. I also believe he was drinking again. If not, he is a true genius. Although I think he is exceptionally wise, I don’t think he is pure genius. He is human and his flaw is .. the booze :(
I could be remembering wrong, but .. there is also a LKL show where JQ is apologizing to LK for doing a bad job on his show. Are the dates close? I can’t remember but.. Why in the world would he do that on the air? Alcoholics remorse?
I think that he was drinking also because of the ‘rumors’ and not one media / interviewer came to his defense. AND, more compelling.. because JQ’s own explanation was he tripped. JQ never admitted to diabetes, that was the idiot know it all Seidlin that assumed it. There is not a word in his past I can find on diabetes.
