No offense to you, but **** this mindset.He has no choice but to set that tone.
The issue is every single one of his former teammates knows that this isn’t who he is or what he believes in.
I guarantee you that never in his mind did he ever think he would be in a playoff game against Miami and against the friends he had since grade school.
If he really thought Miami as gonna be a playoff team at this time he probably would’ve committed with his boys that he knew since the jit days at Miami Gardens Ravens.
He has to show loyalty to his team and coaches and leave them no doubt that he’s riding with them and not the dudes that he’s told people are his lifelong friends.
As far as how we should feel about the situation and not take it personal I’ll refer to Mario’s favorite movie.

Bain stayed home and trusted. So did Fletch and Toney. Smith chased his OSU check and could easily give a boring answer to any questions about Miami.
He chose not to. He can rot for all I'm concerned.
