It's a shame that love was one-sided.
Mike Brown made Carlos Dunlap a very rich man. He chose to draft him and take the risk when he fell in the draft. He rewarded him with not one, but two very generous contract extensions. He loved him so much he decided to hang on to him when the overwhelming majority of other GM's would have either shipped him off last season, or released him, to save cap space.
His reward for his love? A player who often gave poor effort, who ultimately quit on his team mid-season, and who publicly dragged team employees. Not to mention, he was hit with accussations of "not doing enough", in regards to race relations, during one of the most tense moments in recent history (Mike Brown was doing just as much as every other owner, there was no need to insert him in the middle of this).
Mike Brown got completely played. Carlos Dunlap took advantage of him, and is now putting on full display that he wasn't even trying here. It's a shame.
