Considering the nicest and most down to earth guy on the team (Bryant) is pretty much his best friend goes a long way to showing Rizzo is probably not a "super fake dickhole." i think their friendship is vastly overblown off the field. they're very different dudes. rizzo is a frat bro who likes to go out and have fun a lot. bryant won't even sip alcohol in a world series celebration. i know enough people who have had run ins (i've even had one, actually, but i didn't approach him bc i'm not that guy) to know he's not a super nice guy to any and everyone like everyone thinks, and that is completely fine. i wouldn't be either.
