You can define bad in the room however you want but Neal has never been considered a popular teammate.

Fair enough, and I don't think Neal should ever have been a popular teammate (I only said I never heard he was disliked, but I stand to be corrected there).
I would say that stuff like what Treliving might have said post signing needs to be taken with a grain of salt. You sign the guy and then you say a whole bunch of stuff, including stuff that wasn't a factor in the signing, but you think sounds good.
Treliving may have mistaken swagger for stagger, too.
