Because that seems like a lot of fun and they haven&#8217;t quite used him as much as they could. Plus, given the end of season 7, he&#8217;s positioned himself in a way that he&#8217;s ready to exercise more power now that Dick Roman is gone.\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Actually, this is a respectable prediction!!!
