1. Hendry signing Bradley: highly risky, and it took balls, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice.
2. Hendry signing Bradley to a 3-year deal: plain stupid, but at least Hendryites could defend it. Maybe Jim, obviously<i> deeply</i> mentally-challenged on matters of money, was unaware that the economy had tanked, and thought signing Dempster and Bradley for roughly double what any other team would have given them was a smart move. Or maybe Bradley promised that he would be really nice to eveyone if Jim coughed up that third year.
3. Hendry signing Bradley to an expensive 3-year deal, then during Year One, shitcanning him, throwing him under the bus, burying him in the media, and completely, thoroughly, and 100% ruining his trade value: Priceless. <i>Classic</i> Hendry.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
