Probst's reaction is very interesting and no doubt a popular opinion (as a rule, Probst loves the villains, including Coach). But like most, he fails to address Russell's mistakes, the biggest of which came down to Russell's choices in during the final weeks of the game, which ultimately led to his losing. And again, this idea that Russell comes of greater than he really was in a season of weak players. I'm curious to see how awesome Russell is when pitted against some of the greatest in the Heroes vs. Villains upcoming season. If he's really as great as people claim he is, then I'll gladly eat my words. But until then, I still think he's a dickwad who played the first half of the game very well.
