Re: McDavid not being personality-deficient. I've interviewed him. He's quiet. Measured. That's his personality. However, he's also thoughtful and a good quote as we saw recently with the sideways glance verbal about the media. 1/6
Here's the problem: People look for perceived flaws for reasons behind various issues. Oilers lose? McDavid has no personality. I mean, people do that, but it's deflection. McDavid is not Mick Jagger, and Mick Jagger is not Connor McDavid. 2/6
Appreciate greatness or be a fool, your choice. And we do it the other way too, trying to make people more than they are. My Mom, who I adored and is in heaven right now, used to make wild claims about Elvis Presley. Drove me crazy. 3/6
It's how I discovered the library tracking down her embellishments. "Elvis a great singer and actor, he choregraphed "Jailhouse Rock" himself" she would say and off I'd go to the library to find the name (Alex Romero) of the poor guy who did it. 4/6
Anyway, as my daughter says, let him live. McDavid is McDavid, Mick is Mick, You're you. Putting brilliant people down for things they are not is very weak and not the behaviour of an adult.

5/6
