My link says that the article was published in the magazine in November 1999, which is 9 years, 3 months ago - which is even longer! Time flies!

It's not irrelevant. Often it's worthwhile to look back at history to see how it unfolded.

However old the article is, I enjoyed it simply because I hadn't ever heard Valentine himself tell his version of the story.

Every time I see Hightower and O'Neill, I'm reminded of this incident, which I saw as it happened on my DirecTV package while I was living in New Orleans (1998). I couldn't believe how buddy-buddy Hightower was with Knight considering his partner was getting it so good from Knight at the time. If I were Valentine, I would've been trying to figure out how to have the knife removed from my back.

It's hard to believe it was 11 years ago now, though.

I've read before that TV and EH weren't the best of friends. Is that true and was some of it because EH was buddy with Knight?
