There's just certain dudes that are impossible to dislike outside of whatever team they play for. Like you can hate the colors they wear but not who's wearing em. I know here in NY of course there's a lot of hate for the Cowboys and Redskins, but there's always been a respect for DeMarcus Ware and there seems to be a lot of respect for RGIII.
Of course that same sentiment doesn't seem to be extended more often than not from Jets fans to Bill Bellicheck, Tom Brady, and the Pats.
I ain't a Jets or Giants fan though I'm just watching from a distance. Seems to be the same for a lot of people with Russel Wilson, hard to hate on a guy that carries himself so well, only time I ever heard any for him really was with that whole "Touchception" bullshyt earlier in the season in GB.... but that really can't be pinned completely on him.
