I can't fathom you not understanding the situation...talk about no perspective. Do I approve of the choke sign? No. Do I think going up to him right after the play was bush league? Yes. But c'mon he had a microphone jammed in his face like a minute after the play. Almost impossible to control you emotions and push back your adrenaline in that circumstance.
None of this makes him a "thug" or a "me guy". To his haters: He's smarter than you, better than you and that pisses you off. Understandable ... But have a better reason for your hate than some stuff he did or said in the heat of the moment. Biggest play of his life against a dude he despises...
anyway, hate on.
