Old Italian saying

It predictable how the media, especially the National media, loves to negatively jump on Dabo any chance it can...always has and always will.
My Italian mother once told me...
"Always speak the truth...but the truth is not always to be spoken."
Guess that's what she meant.

Shorter version: "sometimes the bandwagon gets a little full".

Moms are smart that way. Mine told me something to the

effect of

"A hard head makes a soft a$$."

And, after a few spankings, I began to understand what she meant by that.

I had a similar version told to me, "there is a difference between telling the truth and the whole truth. Learn when each is appropriate if you want to stay married a long time."

Whoever comes to you with this Barzini meeting, he's the traitor. Don't forget that.

Dabo's comments about fans is not smart, especially during this downturn and reeks of arrogance. Arrogance he didn't have when he first got the job.

There was a book written years ago, which I cannot remember the title or the author, but it was all about the differences in people who inherit riches vs. those who earn it after beginning with nothing. What was interesting was that the "Old Money" tends to remain Old Money and grow their empires. The Nouveaux Riche, as he called them, were not raised with wealth and power and had no idea how to handle it. Kinda like the poor sap who wins the Lotto and 5 years later declares bankruptcy. Might be seeing a taste of that here. A little bit of money and power can change someone who has never experienced either.
