I'm all about taking accountability for one's actions. That's why I respect this guy for gathering up his belongings - including his ashamed girlfriend - and getting out of there faster than the underage kid at the busted college party as soon as he realized what he did wrong. That's called taking responsibility for your own stupidity, and I can appreciate that. What I don't appreciate is this guy being labeled as the sole villain when there were three other jackasses that would have snagged that ball had he not been there. This guy had to have a camera zoom in on his face and trail him all the way up the aisle when he technically didn't act alone. Taking the rap for everyone just because he has quicker hand eye coordination and the presence of mind to bring a mitt? That doesn't seem fair. That doesn't seem just. There's nothing worse than being the only person that gets in trouble when you were part of an entire group of people that did something dumb. The least the commentator's could have done was acknowledge that this guy wasn't the only idiot, he was just the only idiot worthy of a 'Golden Glove'. So disingenuous to blabber on and on about his his shoddy defensive awareness and his potential relationship status when they should have been calling out the Benedict Arnold in the 'Monster' hoodie or fucking Judas in the Giants windbreaker. Immediately cowering in their seats like the turncoats that they are. With friends/neighbors like that who needs enemies? He may have almost taken one from the team but he definitely took one for the team, and I think we at least need to give him some credit for that.
