Give them a break. The guy just died. At least let them attend to his funeral first. Don't you think that his passing has had a huge effect on his staff? They are probably numb.
I am aware of all of that, but the fact that there is a week delay, and they would have come out, gives O’s people a chance to try to do something. I would say, “Relase in a week”, then release them Monday night as a surprise.
Well said.
RIP, Andrew.
