Chris,
Not to get all remedial on you, but if you read my post, the answer to your question is contained therein.
Nothing more chagrining than to see one of our heroes treated like a meat puppet. Especially when the premise was sound.
The success of everything in this world, my friend, every-dang-last-thing, is predicated upon execution. Not intent. History is littered with good intentions.
And don't get me wrong, I'd give my eye teeth to talk with Matty for a half hour. I really, really like that kid. My issue is this: he deserved better.
