re: The potential fallout of the priest scandal

How stupid were the Saint's execs to conduct this business on their Saint's accounts?

Before offering an opinion on what they might have done, that stupidity sticks out. They could have offered advice privately.

There is obviously something in the email that points toward the Saints having more involvement that the Saints claim. The Judge would probably not have said the emails could be released if the Saints contentions were true. I think the court of public opinion is out until folks see the emails. Reporters will be most interested if any of the names discussed had connections to the widower hunter or other Saints executives. I do not think there is a disaster awaiting for the Saints but this was a tempest of their own making.
