how some Superstars get shitted on, but then it seems like every role player (besides a few real bad ones) gets love.

for example; Peyton Manning is one of the best QB's in football, but he is generally called "the best", so people only praise him.

but then you talk about Brady or Romo, people say "they suck"; you guys did your fair share of talking shit about these two in countless threads last year.

how do they suck though? clearly better than 90% of QB's in the league, but they suck?

but then a guy like Rivers or Collins, nobody talks shit about. is it because they aren't concidered elite? is it when you're "elite" you're compared to the best & look like you suck? then when you're just average & play good, you look amazing?

i just don't get it.

same goes for other sports, like LeBron to Kobe, "the best".

I understand what you're saying. You have the "best", absolute "best" in that particular sport, or at that particular position. Everyone else that is close to the best get a different treatment so to speak. A Peyton Manning fuckup is far different from a Brady/Romo fuckup because Manning is considered the "top" quarterback in the league by many.

Manning throws 4 picks in a game, its a bad game; while if Brady or Romo, who are top tier QBs in their own right, throw 4 picks, "they suck". Its because more is expected from them I guess.

Just like Kobe/Lebron, but in their case its more 50/50. Lebron is looked at as the best in the NBA, so if Kobe goes 6/22 its because he sucks and is not a team player, not because he had an off night and vice versa

^exactly, golf has it where if Tiger fucks up, whatever; bad day.

but anyone else blows a lead or some shit, it was a choke.

same in Tennis with Fed.

Baseball; Pujols is concidered the best hitter in most peoples eyes. off night? ehh, get 'em tomorrow kid. A-Rod goes 0-5, he sucks forever. if he goes 4-5 & k's in the 9th, he sucks even more lol.

it's just weird.

It's not that big of a secret, some players are liked while others are disliked.
