That's the only playoff game I don't have because a massive snowstorm hit the DC area and I couldn't even make it to the store to buy a blank VHS tape. Oh the suffering.
I find it hard to believe that they would pass on Merriman if they thought he was the superior prospect. Jerry and Stephen had dealt with difficult agents before. Never stopped them from winning.
That's the point I tried to make to Zoners who hit me with "Well, who did you want Jerry to draft/sign?" Um, Jerry as a full-time employee with access to film and scouting reports is supposed to be more adept at this than the average fan.
