<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wayne Embry wasn't in Philadelphia for Friday's game nor was he on the Raptor charter home for the muted celebration of the first division title in franchise history. And he wasn't around the Air Canada Centre yesterday to try on one of the bright red T-shirts representing the historic moment. But wherever he was, rest assured that the distinguished adviser to the Raptor brass and sounding board for its coach felt a large measure of pride over the last 24 hours. "I'm just really happy for the organization from top to bottom and for the fans," Embry said in a telephone interview. "It's great to see. "I've had my successes in the NBA over the years, I like to see other people be successful now." No one has felt Embry's presence around the franchise more than coach Sam Mitchell. They came to Toronto within weeks of each other and the elder statesman of the franchise immediately became the man who would turn the coach into what he is today. Through the dark days of the 2004-05 season, when an overly emotional Mitchell was learning his craft and in conflict with his boss, it was Embry who was there with advice whenever it was needed.</div> Link Nice article.

<div class="quote_poster">SoSoDef Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">As well as Hoffa... </div> Hoffa was 100% Jack McCloskey. We should have tied that guy to a train and sent him out of town. He was fired eventually anyways. This is a pretty accurate account of the whole Hoffa situation actually: http://theflagrancy.typepad.com/the_flagra...raptor__15.html It really just goes to show how much of a screw up Peddie really is.
