Blanchette v. Leach

Mon., Jan. 13, 2020

Well, John Blanchette will no doubt be happy with the departure of Mike Leach — and one can only imagine what his departure words for Leach will entail.

As for me, pending the Spokesman’s printing this, let me say this: Mr. Blanchette, I don’t really care what you think and you can go ahead and write whatever you want because some day the Spokesman-Review will get tired of the demeaning, negative and biased opinions written by a source that has little, if any, credible sports behavior/knowledge. When that day arrives rest assure Mr. Blanchette, you will be reading your last “Dear John Letter” and shall be walking down the road with two heavy suitcases.

Go Cougs!
