It's even plausible to me that Haley reached his limit on trotting out Failco, and said Stanzi plays or I go, and that's what resulted in him being fired now vs at seasons end.

Of course that's just as speculative as the opinion that Haley actually liked Failco. Unless there's info I missed confirming that?

Good post.
