Hell, I think Mike’s greatest attribute is he never really took any of this shit as seriously as others seem to. I just don’t see the “pressure” on his face that you see on the Urb’s or Saban’s of the game. Yet he is just as passionate. I used to think it was because he was simply a laid back guy.
But these days I think he is the way he is more so because he is aware that the game is rigged to a point. The alleged email referencing the missed targeting call where he supposedly called out the PAC royalty on manipulating the officiating (the third man in the booth) that would have given him a chance to beat SC quickly went away. I believe that was because it contained more then a small element of truth. And Mike knew crossing that line gets him in the crosshairs again. So unlike Phil Fulmer, Mike backed down and didn’t go rouge by going public like Phil did with Albert Means.
But, that is what bothers me. That email is the proverbial smoking gun. If the PAC does that shit, one has to assume they all do. And that my friends means the whole thing is bullshit. The gambling side, the championships, everything is WWE.
