Message: [QUOTE="Arangeman, post: 3749913, member: 6300"] I feel like JB decided that since Buddy would already be under the microscope as his son he’s not going to subject him to additional media or fan scrutiny by being critical of him. Ultimately the desire to shield him has resulted in additional scrutiny of JB and he’s ok with that. One could argue it’s also resulted in additional scrutiny of Buddy from a segment of the fanbase but it’s pretty clear JB is never going to criticize his son publicly. Maybe teammates get that. I also think fans pay a lot more attention to that stuff than players. What matters to players is what is said behind closed doors. [/QUOTE]
