If this is actually true, man, we may just be effed. How can Mario not be able to attract a top notch OC with a $1.5M+ check to write. That seems almost impossible to think about unless he just has such a terrible reputation.
There are some smart people in the room such as Alonzo. Is there really no chance that one of the adults in the room finally sits Mario down and has that difficult conversation with him? I mean I guess the AD can force it on him but that’s not really how it should go down.
