After a couple of commentators showed displeasure in my softness for not probing Leland about the contract he negotiated for Ricky Williams, I decided to reach back out to Mr. Hardy to see if we could follow up with a quick Q&A.

Leland did not back away from the question, and provided a very lengthy, no-holds-barred response. Check it out by clicking the link above.
