Certainly a lot of that making the rounds. Former players saying they don't want him there. Just struck me as needlessly dickish, which is a very unorthodox stance for me. Antithetical even. If I go toe to toe with someone and they give it their all and I win, I have a hard time not giving them a moment to show me some respect if they want to. Finding insult there feels insecure.
I think the problem is I can't divorce myself from the weirdly certain conviction he did it because he thought it was the right thing to do, not because he thinks he's a big deal and they'd be glad to hear his words of wisdom. I might just be a big wet pussy though. Not a chip to found on either of my shoulders. Anthropomorphic taco reporting for duty.
