I'm going to give KW a little credit and think he might actually be kind of a genius in all of this. It's a lock at least some of the people in the clubhouse were sick of/weirded out by this kid being there ALL THE DAMN TIME and wanted him gone, or at least around less, and maybe vocalized that to upper management. Kenny falls on the sword and makes it out like this is all on him, gets a HORRIBLE player to quit and give up $15 million, and ultimately unites the team over this nonsense. If he actually planned any of it along those lines, I gotta tip my cap.
