Yeah the Svrugla story had to come straight from Werth or at least part of it.
I don't think the confrontation story was from him. didn't sound like a "you know what really ticked me off, there was this time . . ."  The detail about not having been told he would be given the day off may have come from him, or he may have talked to a teammate, but the rest of the stuff of pulling the line up card down and confronting Williams was out in front of the rest of the team.

In a larger sense, it seems to me that in recent years this team has become surprisingly non-resilient.
