The New York Times article written by Pete Thamel was pretty negative about Jeremy Tyler and his experience thus far, and the comments throughout the Internet have been worse.
However, I think the public needs to be fair. Is it unusual for an American player to complain about his European club, his contract, his living conditions [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecrossovermovement.wordpress.com&blog=4172509&post=1536&subd=thecrossovermovement&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
