I think for a few reasons.... (for me at least)

1. Ade Jimoh Fan Club is freakin' hysterical.

2. Getting burned like he did, we'd all like to see him do better. Given the coaches last year, I can't entirely blame him.

3. Who doesn't like the possibility of a good success story when you know the odds are stacked against him?

4. Lastly and probably most importantly to me, I've always been the kind of person to root for the underdog and stick up for for guys who are maligned. I thank my Mom for that value and am damn glad to have it.

He fits the bill to a tee.. undrafted rookie, made the team, and got burned early in the season when maybe he should not have been in the position to get burned. He was ripped by anyone and everyone.

Point being, yeah, he had a rough time last year. But there's no reason not to root for him now!

GO ADE!!!!
