Are you suggesting that Hurley (the author of this article) is an idiot, or that Jane McManus (a woman), the ESPN writer who said this on Mike and Mike this morning, is an idiot?
I was listening to M&M this morning (I still catch them once in a while on my way in to work; they piss me off sometimes, but mostly I enjoy them). I was instantly furious when she said this. She totally missed the mark, and her attempt to backtrack on twitter afterwards is pathetic. There is no comparison to fans defending their team against unsupported assertions and/or a totally f'ed "investigation" and cover up by the NFL, with fans defending their team for signing a monster of a human being and then continuing to support him with oblivious and blind faith. Separately, I note that the Pats immediately cut Hernandez upon learning of his potential criminal behavior.
Furthermore, she assumes that all Cowboys' fans will support their team no matter what. Perhaps some will, but I have friends who are Cowboys fans that still love their team, but hate Hardy and think Jerruh has totally messed up here.
