It's Kovac devoting a full article to how last night's incident wasn't Erb's fault rather than writing an article about Hudson O'Neil the *MAN*'s amazing defeat of the *boy* five years his senior. Nothing that Erb has done this week has been his fault. Nothing ever is.
It's his choice of friends, the d-bad Timmy Culp who accuses the Moyers of cheating. It's his choice of enemies (Hudson O'Neail). It's 100% his dooshbaggery. Everyone can see that. That is what causes an entire crowd to turn on someone.
Drivers get tangled up all the time. But when Erb pulls the same lamely defensible crap time after time after time, a crowd will turn on you. It's not about what happened last night, it's an accumulation of every D-bag move that D-bag made up to this point.
I have never been a fan of Josh Richards, but for all of the reasons I had to dislike him, I'd never use the word hate to describe how I felt. No matter how he drove, it had nothing to do with the man. But with Tyler Erb it's far less about how he drives, it's about how he acts off the track too. If it was just the way he drove....well there are plenty of guys that make questionable moves, even multiple times in a one week period.
Bottom line, Tyler Erb is a doosh. He likes being a doosh. And those people that booed him last night? That wasn't just about what happened last night. That was a bunch of fans that have grown to hate him.
