I'd have said the same thing to a random stranger shit talking me.
I was not shit talking him. He was sitting at the bar talking and holding court to some people. We were far enough away to not be in the conversation but close enough to hear everything. Hes a rude ignorant ass who only gets worse with booze. He made comments about players families and wives. Our entire table asked him why he covers the sport and the leafs when he seemingly thrives on every shortcoming he can ferret out. He then ranted about us and then told us to go be a habs fan if we didnt like it.
Shits on fans asking civily why hes so negative.
Shits on our best player at the time and lies about a weight "issue" when it was side effects from cancer treatment.
Shits on our best players privacy (again) and outs his covid status.
Still people want to defend this sad excuse for a writer and a human being.
And the fans are the issue. Hes the text book definition of delusion. He thinks his writing is important and timely. It in fact only serves one purpose.
To remind others of how low they have sunk when they see themselves on his level.
