Ron, Jason...they seem to be engaged in some Game of Thrones stuff, where they are doing their best to be the one that sticks around. Like it's clear Ron won't even engage when asked about him. Latest Jason Reid article slobbering over Eric B (leaving out pretty much every question mark) was all sourced from Jason. No mention of Ron. It's clear if Jason is part of the story, Ron wants nothing to do with it. Must be a blast in the building when they cross paths.
The funny thing is, Harris is smart. There's no game to win here. They will both be gone sooner than later barring something undeniable, like a great run under Howell. If that happens, I think Ron uses whatever juice he has -- and even then it won't be much -- to get Jason out.
