I don't think it has anything to do with egos. You can think Mike is a great, be happy for him, congratulate him - to each their own. I'd say you're probably in the minority. Saints fans hate the guy. He's been an absolute heel for the past decade. Rivalries are fun. Letting your rival get free accolades is just really bizarre and not something anyone would expect to see. It's not thing to not field a competitive team. But to not show fight versus someone who hasn't shown respect to this team ever? Yeahhhh that's super soft. Just like Dennis Allen apologizing to the Falcons was.
