Rob Dibble cut off by Jody Mac about Radomski points

During the first hour or so today on Sirius XM 175 I hear Rob Dibble trying to make a point about Radomski. He says there are teams in the midwest for example that were not in geographic proximity to Radomski/McNamee yet that doesn't receive any attention. That teams in different areas had to have had different guys they used at that time. He paused to allow Jody Mac to respond to this important point.
  • Jody couldn't do it, doesn't have the ability, blew off a rare and important point, responding instead, 'Ahh, east coast Radomski, west coast Balco,' then laughed and changed the subject.
Finally before the break, Dibble said he just wanted to make one more point about Radomski. That he was facing up to 25 years in prison and a fine of $500,000 unless he spilled what he had on players. After doing so, Dibble continued, Radomski ended up with 5 years probation (no jail time) and a nominal cash fine. The point being the guy was heavily motivated to talk. Dibble pauses for Jody's reaction.
  • Jody fails to acknowledge Dibble's point, changes the subject to a joke about some trouble Dibble might have been in himself (at some unknown time for some unknown deed, unrelated to baseball), and cackles. Then Jody says loudly, just kidding, just kidding. Dibble left with nothing to do but chuckle as Jody then wraps and goes into the next break.
When Dibble and Kennedy were together, they could have a back and forth conversation about this subject. They provided the only substantial outlet for what should have been universal questions about the so-called Mitchell Report. The rest of baseball media did not ask questions about it. They don't seriously question anything about MLB ownership, ie MLB has no media watchdog. P.S. Dibs is the new color announcer for the Washington Nationals tv coverage on MASN. via BTF.
