Gastineau is several levels of poopchute above Adams, AINEC. Adams is loved/liked/respected from all accounts by his teammates, Gastineau was hated, almost universally.
You see, I always loved Gastineau because of skills on the field.
Back in the day I was limited to delayed highlights and never got to know of some his exploits off the field and the fact that he would have eaten himself if he was chocolate. He was part a great team in an era that will always be special to me.
Stories of him being unpopular with his team mates were exagerated but I recall a play off game against KC when the great Bob Trumpy who was calling the game with another great Don Crqui couldn't resist pointing out Mark sitting on his own on the sidlines;
"There's is Mark Gastineau sitting with his buddies...."
