Looks like someone has won a pyirrc victory here. I can't see how Billy Dean has the resources to carry on in Denver alone. It would be a different story in economic good times, but with this downturn, he needs someone with deep pockets to operate the other side of the JOA or he is finished. Scripps famously doesn't bluff (it walked away from the Pittburgh Press because the unions accused the company of bluffing), but if Billy Dean acknowledged he can't make it alone, would Scripps continue with the Rocky as the only paper in Denver?
