I get it - he's a Clown, he represents all that is wrong with college athletics and he seems to have gotten away with some terrible, um, "behavior" in Tally - but I still don't know why I despise him as much as I do. Objectively, my burning rage at this jerkweed is irrational.
But it exists so I may as well seek some inner peace and simply embrace it. Ergo, I hope he rapidly becomes the bust we all think he will be, that his flameout is both epic and entertaining to watch and that the collateral damage he creates includes the careers of Lovie and Jason Licht.
There. I feel much better now.
It's the ego. It bothers me that he does stupid things, and gets away with it. It bothers me that he makes stupid plays and throws tons of ints and gets anointed for it, but I hate him for the ego. He has never had to deal with consequences in his life, and the egotistical child he has become is the result.
Yeah, could be. Still, my level of enmity for that asshat is bizarre.
I've been scouring my memory to think of other athletes I've disliked as much. So far, the only one that comes close for me is Danny Ainge during his playing years in Boston. To this day, if I ever met Sedale Threatt I'd shake his hand and pick up his bar tab.
