It's that plus the fact that if you never get any counterpoint in your life you are living in a bubble. Some people like staying inside the bubble 24 and 7. I don't. There is something sad about bubble life where everybody reinforces the lame beliefs over and over, and they think that helps the team win. What BS. All that does is make you stupid and vulnerable to losing your farm.
Mercury Morris has, whether we like his presentation or not, a perspective that is uniquely different from the typical homer position. For one thing he has personally climbed the mountain. It's instructive to see how jealous Patriots fans deride a guy that has climbed the mountain that their own guys have never climbed. They find every reason they can find to marginalize and minimize and take away from the guy or from that team. Why? Jealousy. It's really that simple.
Can I take part in a jealousy fest just to be "in" with the bubble people? Hell no. I happen to like counterpoint, especially the colorful variety that makes you laugh and see life from another perspective.
Mercury's the man. I love the fact that he doesn't wear $5k suits. Who needs suits? Suits are the lamest invention in the history of mankind. They are ugly and stifle the neck area and restrict movement in the shoulders. They are like harnesses of the business world to remind the wearer that he's owned. That's my personal take, and I'm not impressed with suits and I'm not impressed with the critique of Mercury's suits. Big deal, so he isn't on GQ's best dressed list. Whoopie. Who the hell would *want* to be? What are we a fashion show here?
Lame. Lame, lame, lame. The man has climbed the mountain and we knock him for his choice of suits. Jeezuz, and we call ourselves NFL fans?
