I don't care nor trust a word that man says
I understand that but there is a different way. They want you to throw your hands up in disgust and look away. They can do what they want then.
Jerry lies but what is important is why he lies and from there you can make inferences.
For example, talking to any Jones outside of the leadup to the draft about personnel and it will lead to spin and placations. However when the draft is around they talk more freely. It is not like we do not see this type of behavior commonly amongst our oligarchs who change their tune at various times as they feel the need.
However if they are leaking information about confidence in a signing or smearing a player you can draw inferences from that as well about their state of mind. You cannot take it at face value but you can learn something.
