But, to defend him as someone knew football knowledge is incorrect. He was consistently terrible at his opinions and takes.
To defend him as just being a member who isn't here anymore, fair enough. I even said as much of the same up thread. See below.
Yes this is partially mocking him, John. But that's a lot to do with how he treated others and ironic because this is similar to what he did to others. So it's all in good fun.
