I think that is what was stated. No way to foresee it an issue or maybe Cal would have at least held a little back in his pitch to the Wiseman's. Cal can ad-lib very well and may have taken Penny as one of those honorable types. Most people, (No matter how bad people look in the media) are honorable. jmuo
Can you imagine the conversation?
Cal: “James, looking forward to getting together. Just make sure Penny isn’t there, ok?”
Wiseman: “Why not, Coach? Penny is like family to me. He’s helping me every step of the way and I want him included.”
Cal: “Absolutely! I just think he’s a snake, is all. Some family members are snakes, James. Better you learn that now than later. So, what’s your mom making for dinner?”
