Team is team, especially among veterans. These guys train, travel, practice and play together. They fight for each other. They see each other for enormous amounts of time and under very, very stressful situations filled with highs and lows. As one player said of Incognito, "He’s a guy I’m with more than my own family, so I know what type of guy he is, and he’s not a racist.” I'll take his word for it.
In war, the first three reports from the battlefield are wrong. A lot of times, I think the same applies to Sports media as well.
