The assumption that someone’s inability to recognize skill that another person sees is an intentional snub is pretty far fetched.

Some context. John Sigler is not only a Saints' Beat writer, but he's a fan. And it's annoying that national writers overlook smaller market players...

And you can probably safely bet some in the Saints' locker room asked why his contemporaries failed to acknowledge Onyemata, and that's what motivated the article...
