And didn't Tippett get a slightly harsher whack from the AFL because he refused to accept any responsibility for the entire mess?It still bugs me to this day that Tippett came out and blamed the AFC while never taking any blame or giving any blame to his manager. I get the feeling his old man tried to throw his weight around by hiring a lawyer and making threats and as a result of this, shot his own son in the foot in the process.
