Best we can tell, this is the equivalent of telling your credit card company: “This debt I’ve accrued is way too high for me to ever to pay off, so how about I give you one fifth of what I owe you and we can call it even, hmmmkay?” The bad news is that shit don’t fly for people like you and me. The good news for the Inquirer/Daily News is that Brian Tierney ain’t people like you and me.
