McIntyre handled it wrong, but Clay Travis is a self-aggrandizing jackass.

I'm not a Travis fan, but dang.

I guess hanging up is better than saying 17.

But I told ya I ain't talkin about injuries
(unless I want to)

Ha ha!

"People listen to my show for me, not the guest". Not sure that's a great approach to things.

IF the media guys today have that approach, they should go back and watch Howard Cosell. He did that better than any sports media person around today. He could hold his own with anyone, ask the tough questions and was still entertaining.

True and true. Wouldn't surprise me if Travis had agreed before the show not to ask him about other jobs and then tried to blindside him with it anyway. Any time I read one of those "all I did was....and can you believe how he overreacted" stories, I keep in mind that this is just one side of the story, and probably a biased one at that.

McIntyre was wrong and Travis Clay gets paid to be a self-aggrandizing jackass. One was doing his job and the other was failing at his. Coach needs to grow up.

I find media types to be a little full of themselves. Yes, you chose a job that requires you ask a bunch of questions and yes the more controversial the more you are really "doing your job", etc. However, you need to suck it up and take whatever answers that gets you, no matter if that is hanging up, no comment or the answer you actually wanted. The idea that they feel they have a "right" to get certain answers has always rung hollow and whiny to me.

17 most of the American public feels they have a "right" to answers or the truth

Coach didn't handle it well, I agree. And like Brian said, I'd be pissed if that was mullen, just like I was pissed at how he handled the interview question about injuries a couple of years ago.

That said, Clay Travis is terrible. A coach showed him up by hanging up on him so he takes to the internet to remind everyone about how much of a badass he is, how under no circumstance does he do pre-interviews, about how he doesn't need a coach to call in, etc. It's like he was trying to get the last word because MacIntyre made him look bad. That's douchiness personified.

I always love hearing people on the premium site says "I pay $8/months and I deserve to know every dark secret you know!"

Sports journalists always seem to make a HUGE deal out of incidents like this or when pro player simply states he doesn't want to talk to the press like it's the worst thing in the world.

I always remember that scholar Lewis Grizzard's response to folks that wanted everything in the daily newspaper - " It don't cost but a quarter, so there is a limit to the quality & our resources"

 

[RocketDawg]

Aren't you capable of unbanning him?

well, unban him

Well we wanted to do that, but the opportunities didn't present themselves.

When I read this it's in your Mullen voice. Or it might be your Peter Griffin...

Also Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. Of this there can be no debate.
