I have not seen Fox but once this year, but he has never been one of my 
favorite players.  He always plays hard, and sometimes makes spectacular plays 
to win games.

My problem with him is that after all these years, he still makes bone-headed 
rookie mistakes.  He is just as likely to make a spectacularly bad play to 
lose a game.

I also think he is overpaid.  I would not even want him as a bench player, 
because you cannot count on him when the game is on the line.

As you said, everyone is entitled to his opinion...you have mine.

I think it is unfair to question a fan's loyalty because he does not blindly 
love every player on the team.  This team's talent is very poor, and their 
place in the standings is well-deserved.  It does not make one less of a fan 
to acknowledge that.
