It struck me how those players standing next to Haley on the sidelines when the final whistle blew were giving him a lot of love. It doesn't appear to me that he's lost this team or that his players hate him. I think that reality is beginning to sink in with Whitlock forcing him to reevaluate his media campaign against Haley's character.

Yeah, I noticed that too and was pleasantly surprised how the players interacted with Haley after the final whistle blew. A couple of them were jumping on him and shit. I was like wtf, Whitlock said the players hate him (where's the sarcasm font). But Whitlock flipped his take completely from the last couple weeks to this one.
