Sounds to me like sour grapes from f’n losers. “Mommy, that nasty boy is cheating by following the rules.”
Want some cheese with that whine ?
(Sorry, but not a fan of anybody who lost in Seahawks or Pats in playoffs)
But, hey...good try at mindreading...
(And I doubt the ESPN article-writer was necessarily a sour-grapes "fan" of any losing team...but, hey, it's up to you to try to prove that)
