People haven't forgotten about the incident, but the presence of the football players is new to me. Former speculation about this incident was that Bruno Bellissimo would be the possible jailhouse agent of Ford.

The jailhouse beating of MacIntyre, and possible link to Ford via ex-Bosco players, is actually old news. It was reported by the Sun back on Nov. 7. I was surprised at the time that the judge's comments didn't get more play in the media. Ford fatigue I guess. So this very dodgy incident was forgotten by most, until Ford the idiot brought it up again himself. He really has no clue...
Man beaten because he was 'bother' to Rob Ford: Judge

The Star said:Claiming taxpayers are paying for a bloated bureaucracy is good politics, said Councillor John Filion.
“You could get rid of half the managers and say there are still too many, and a certain percentage of the population will say, ‘Yeah, that must be true,’” Filion said.
“Everybody is looking for simple solutions: Get rid of the managers,” he added.
Filion stressed he doesn’t think things are perfect but believes the bureaucracy needs to be reorganized, not shrunk.
“Too many issues come up where the decision-makers are all at the same level in the organization and nobody takes charge,” he said.
I'll give this much to Ford: he believes in privatisation, and Warmington is doing a great job as media relations whipping boy for Ford; in the tax-and-spend Miller days that would have been a City position.I think this is a story that has yet to come out. A reporter sent a request to Ford for comment and Ford thought it preferable to respond through Warmington.
Maybe he also wanted to screw over the reporter by passing his scoop on to Warmington.
Let's not lose perspective here. Norm Kelly may look great when he's standing next to Rob Ford, but the guy is one of the most useless members of council. He is a perennial backbencher with no major accomplishments to his name, despite his long career. He's a climate-change denier. Up until his appointment as interim mayor, he voted in lock-step with even the most misconceived parts of Ford's agenda (e.g. firing Gary Webster). He took a Florida vacation in the middle of the ice storm.
Bottom line: Having someone as unqualified as Kelly serve as interim mayor is not good for the city. However, that's what happens when the elected mayor (e.g. Rob Ford) appoints a deputy mayor based on loyalty rather than qualifications (which ended up backfiring anyway).

They just don't know when to keep quiet do they?
Goldstein said months ago that Ford should resign.Meanwhile, Goldstein appears to be growing a spine, arguing that Ford genuinely has problems (reading between the lines: mental illness) and has burned up pretty much all of his credibility by lying over and over again.
