It's idiotic and contrived, and Haisley keeps pushing it as if he can make it stick.

“relative to the level expected of players at clubs that have paid him a sizable salary to do anything but play soccer for them these past few years.”

“I’m going to dog on this guy for getting paid to vastly underperform in his job, and I have no sense of irony, hypocrisy or self-awareness.” -B. Haisley

Oy, Big Guy- where were you for those six Patriots Super Bowls?

“Not on my watch! You'll watch your heroes act idiotically and suffer solely in the name of subverting expectations!" -Rian Johnson
