Fw: [nas] Adu to start?

Just to clarify:  what I do not like is the seeming undercurrents I seem to
sense
that Freddy is already seemingly playing the press already on the "starting"
issue....
and I do not believe he has earned the right to even comment on this
yet......

 I am FOR playing Freddy because it is good for the league right now.
