    Bullshit, words are cheap now that you’re out of the job. There was zero indication that this was the direction he wanted before the buyout

    Edit: Ybarra is now CEO of a fucking Fantasy Football company

    Never believe that asshole. He’s from the same class as Kotick, but better at faking it.
