I have no clue if they did or didn't..but just to think he didn't for the sake of what is known about him on the internet is crazy...joey got a years in the can and years in the life..if he had sufficient reason to meet with Barney..he would...people make their assumptions on all these guys from an internet persona, u just can't..they live and breathe who they r in all they do. Just cuz joey looks pretty in his Bentley, don't mean he won't slice your throat..just cuz papers and internet writers say Barney keeps to himself..don't mean he does...same people on these sites said up until last august that the west side wouldn't sneeze ar guys like joey or George borgesi..hmmm..think the case proved that wrong
