I miss those days. Today's football players would never have that kind of hate. If he played today, a similar player would exchange jerseys, get the wreath autographed and take a selfie.
Interesting story on the origins of the wreath:

That's because these days they rent, we buy. With so much turnover around the league players don't really see it as us vs. them. Rivalries are dead. Only fans really care about them anymore. The player you're lining up against this year could be your teammate the next. It's a fraternity with these players. The new us vs. them is the players union vs.the league.
