Madden vs Morgan

[craig]

Joe Morgan gets a lot of crap for saying dumb things (I am guilty of this). Madden gets some crap, but it seems more accepted, and almost humorous (at least to me, my friends, and posters on the board). Both are paid to be knowledgeable about their job and a sport they played, but why does it seem that people get much more upset at Joe Morgan?
Is it because he is smarter (If my life was on the line and I had to pick between the two who would score higher on an IQ test, I would definitely pick Joe Morgan (but still take the under for the combined score)), more stubborn/blind, takes himself so seriously, and is so 'matter of fact' about his statements?
