Huh? That makes no sense. So Steeler fans should praise Tony Romo for getting a high salary, having won only ONE playoff game? Please. LOL!!
If that player does something to ruin his own reputation, that's on that player. News reporters write bad stuff all the time about players simply because the player is dumb enough to give them ammunition to do it. You make your bed, you gotta lay in it.
If a player don't want folks to talk about his faults, he should keep his nose clean.
And heck no I won't fail to put down a player from a hated team. What true sports fan does that? LOL!
