Good insight with Flores and James, I hadn't heard that. Recall reading something about Stuckey smoking with the boys but I don't recall reading anything more than a rumor, as indicated.
So maybe the better question is why Stuckey was let go in the first place (less than?) 24 hours after MF said, paraphrasing, if it were up to him he'd retain the entire staff. Just seems odd he wouldn't indicate some changes were going to be abreast if that was common knowledge.
