I have almost said this many times but refrained. What you really had that night was some football players getting in a gang type dispute with some Hartford area guys. Edsall who always got tons of credit for running a discipline clean program did a masterful PR job keeping the focus on Jasper Howard's tragic death rather than the fact there were less than sterling citizens on the football team. Yes, he handled it brilliantly given the docile CT media - that did not really reveal Randy until he left.
If guys on Calhoun's team got involved in this kind of stuff we would never hear the end of it.
