re: Greg McElroy getting bowed up

People saying McElroy doesn't like Bama are insane.

He literally won a national championship as the starting QB.

Just because he's not Roll Tide Willy screaming about how Bama is going to kick arse doesn't mean he's not a fan. He's got a job that requires him to sometimes be critical, and that's fine.

It's like family. Do I agree with all the decisions made by my family? No. Do I criticize them sometimes? Yes. Am I still intensely loyal to them even in times that I am unhappy with them? Yes.

That's how logical, loyal fans act. The love is there at all times. Doesn't mean it's sunshine and roses everyday.

This, plus he called Shank and apologized directly. He admitted that he was emotional and said some stupid things.
