What a terrible article. His worst EVER by far. But lets continue. He speculates "what could it be" and unnecessarily so purposely throws a "single" Butler and a "Married" Gilmore. Implications of which, that these might be some of bad or good you get with players BB quoted once a time long ago.
It doesn't even make sense. He's just cherry picking parts to support some foregone conclusion of a theory.
Each step of the way, there are dozens of other conclusions equally likely, but he chooses the ones that furthers the plot. Our minds swirling, he continues until the final shocker, is it bc/Butler is single? WTF does that even mean haha. If this was anything but a fantasy this is when he would of said, something like "and rumors of possible grumblings questioning his maturity", or, just as likely, "and there is much jealously among the married players, in just how much tail he gets". But no, he spouts some vague quote from BB about the good and bad, and how it's keeping him up at night, pondering it's implications.
Terrible. Just terrible.
However I don't think he throws shade. Mostly, because without context, both marital situations are character neutral! The logical conclusion for readers is going to be, WTF are you talking about? That is the conclusion you came up with? I think he's the one that will take more heat from this than Butler.
