Yes, I remember Dibble talking about it before on the broadcast. All I can say is it's fascinating, since we know nothing about the behind the scenes stuff. That Dibble said it again tonight after Girardi called him out is definitely interesting, but I'll give Dibble a very generous benefit of the doubt for the job he's done in the booth and leave it at that.
The NY papers have not had a whisper of Gerardi going anywhere. One of those papers is entirely rumor + pictures (usually along the lines of Podsed's wife) + opinion explaining the rumor. Not a whisper.
