MORE ON RANDY JOHNSON
We promised ourselves that we would not fixate on this case, but this article is on point that we could not resist posting it. We are not particularly interested in Randy Johnson the man--rather our interest in him and his lawyer is as metaphor. No good can come of taking positions like this. While Johnson's lawyer may be able to squeeze thousands of dollars out of him, the liklihood is that Johnson himself, his eldest child, his wife and younger children, and his public image will all suffer. And even if the Big Unit does "win," some angry judge is sure to be lying in wait for him next time he has to go to court.
So this should be a lesson to everyone--do not take unneccessary risks. Do not be jerks. Only bad things can happen if you do.
