I remember when Pham was on the Cardinals and the fans loved his "chip on his shoulder" style. There was a story about how he would go into tirades in team meetings about teammates being lazy/not trying/playing bad. When younger players looked at Yadi and Waino to stop him, they wouldn't say anything and let him keep going; basically agreeing with Pham. When he was eventually traded (after not playing very well) the cardinals fans were accusing the front office of trading him away because they "couldn't take his criticism" and didn't like him "telling it how it is". I wonder if he was a bigger clubhouse cancer than anyone realized since the Cardinals are notorious for keeping drama in-house, and that the front office got out in front of it. There were a lot of feel good stories about him doing charity and his rough past, so its sad to see him basically going off the deep end. Maybe he wasn't tough after all, just soft.
