Here's the deal: Stiffen up. Emotion has no part in football. Crowell screwed the team. That is clear. If you can't admit that, you are deranged. So why should the team put up with someone screwing them? There is NO reason.
Screw crowell. Opting for surprise surgery two days before the season is screwing the team, screwing the fans, and screwing your fellow players. And you think Buffalo should cuddle and coddle him? That's just silly.
Not only that, there's likely more to the story. You are crying over milk you might think is spilled but aren't sure.
