I pride myself in not being one of those knee-jerk-reacting hot-take artists so prevalent in this era of sports information. Anyone can say anything and have it spread like a virus of idiocy to all corners of the digital world. There’s a tendency to join in on the virtual mob and shout down those opinions that don’t match yours, calling into the fray others who feel the same way you do. That said, there are some well-formed opinions that end up being shouted down because they don’t necessarily fall in line with what the cool kids are saying.
Not that I’m some kind of innocent bystander in all this.
