Re: 8/8/08 Jim Edmonds Post Game

On 1380 this morning McKernan (who also hapens to be one of Edmonds' business partners) said he talked to both Edmonds and Claiborne, both of whom he knws well, and had this to say. Basically Edmonds says Brent Stover (who he referred to as a Cards reporter in a red shirt) said "hey, I'm with Cards TV can I get an interview" to which he responded "I'm a Cub now, get a Cardinal to do your interview". McKernan also said Stover didn't remember him saying anything like what Claiborne is reporting. Apparently Claiborne and Edmonds have had a civil dscussion since then but both are sticking to their stories. (all quotes are paraphrased and not exact)

 

It doesn't make sense for Edmonds to alienate people in St. Louis because he has a business down here. He may be a bit of a prima donna, but he's certainly never struck me as a complete idiot who would risk a business venture over something stupid like this.

 

Just got emialed this link fromt St. Louis. Looks like some redneck decided to do something stupid.

At least they didn't leave a dead baby bear in front of Edmond's place.

 

BTW: f15teen? Kinda stupid.

I'm more interested in the story below that link: Edmonds denies saying the "effing done with the Cardinals" quote.
