Did you actually READ the article or just read the title? Let me help:

Hated is one thing. Repeatedly accused of, caught, and admitted to cheating is a total other thing, and no other franchise, even those with more success has faced that. So....vast conspiracy?

He and RC Burford are actually incredibly highly revered in league circles. In addition, when it comes to Pop, fans love him, the media loves him, and players love him. Plus, he’s widely regarded as one of the best coaches in NBA history. While on the court, Pop can be intense (e.g. “I WANT SOME NASTY!”), in real life…

This is a great point, more about the fan reaction to tons of success. I don’t think any fan-base has handled success worse than the Patriots in recent years. Sure, fans of the Blackhawks and Spurs and Giants can get annoying, but no team, aside from maybe the Cardinals, is close.

Are you kidding, he is worshipped by everyone. If anyone tries to even bring up his at-times less-than-stellar in game management they get ripped to shreds. He’s venerated at a level that is probably higher than Belichick at this point.

Plenty of people/Mayweather groupies are going to think, “So what... he didn’t take steroids. It was vitamin C”. But this is actually very significant. Not so much because he needed to rehydrate - because Floyd has always weighed around 155 or less just walking around. Weigh ins have never been a problem for him…

Isn’t the fact that Mayweather apparently tested positive for PEDs on three seperate occasions but was basically let off by USADA an even bigger story than the IV?

Kinda seriously, this is consistent with the contemporary trend of companies not wanting to train employees (because training costs money, and that cuts into shareholders’ profits!) So they complain that colleges aren’t training people for the very specific jobs they offer, when they should really be trying to develop…

In addition to the other comment, which I think is true, QBs are super valuable. And everyone wants one, and not just anyone one, they want they insanely high caliber kind like Brady, Peyton, Luck, Rodgers (and Flacco, if he is indeed elite). These guys are so good that they make everyone else look bad. And front…

“Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley said he had the same results when he asked prospects a question about defenses shifting from a common scheme called “cover 2” to an equally mundane tactic called “cover 3.”

I’m happy Seattle lost the Super Bowl so that Drew has plenty of time now to include the events of today into New England’s preview

Well this doesn’t seem like the way to do it. It makes him look worse than it makes them look.
