Host is Chris "MadDog" Russo...formerly of Mike & The MadDog in NYC...Anyway, Russo was talking about the Bernie Fine situation and was taking a very fair, "let's wait and see 'til all the facts come out" stance and then he took my call.  I was on for a good 5 minutes, most of which was him letting me talk.  I identified myself as a 1993 SU grad.

I basically outlined all of the holes in the accusers' stories and also some of the things that were reported locally in Syracuse (like the $5,000 loan that the first accuser admitted he owed Bernie)...and also gave Chris a synopsis of the OTL interview by Tim Welsh. Russo doesn't think the accusers are out for financial gain and I argued that perhaps they were trying to destroy Fine's reputation and get some sort of national exposure.  I also mentioned that I wasn't going to resort to character assassination, but I alluded to the lack of credibility of the accusers.
 Hopefully some of you heard the call; I think I acquitted myself quite well and got a lot of info out there that hasn't been focused on at all on ESPN and other national outlets.
