I think Carmichael is a D-bag for the aforementioned reasons (as well as a haircut that's just awful). Roll seems like a decent guy when you read his book or hear him on TV, but as far as the doping thing goes, he's the same as the rest. As a FOL he was completely complicit in Big Tex's doping. It wasn't like LA kept it on the DL, hell he was announcing it to anyone he thought he could impress by talking about it. Roll was a guy that was with him in his first training camp post cancer, so he was definitely an 'insider'.
I think people see his goofy smile and think he's something he's not.
