Sports 'journalists' (Who Don't Work For ESPN)

[buckeyebri]

Failed lawyer turned blogger and shock-jock, now the centerpiece of FS1's effort to duplicate ESPiN's fanbase-trolling model. Really, really hates Urban Meyer for some reason.

It is always good to hate successful people if you need to drive clicks........

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

None of them are that funny. That won't stop a few posters here from saying how omgz accurate they are but it only applies to other tOSU fans, not them or people they like.

Oh, I totally agree. This in NO WAY applies to me or any of my friends.

Ah, a trailblazer...

Ah, a trailblazer...

Yeah, he's a lesser-known, much less talented hack than Dennis Dodd is....

 

[Steve19]

Who is this guy? More importantly, why waste time reading and talking about such banal drivel?

I posted it because FS1 has this jack wagon on the payroll. We all hoped for better and for them to be a real alternative to ESPiN.

 

[Wingate1217]

He is a frustrated wanna be athlete....and has to tear others down so he feels good about himself...

Travis was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He graduated from George Washington University in 2001, majoring in history, as well as working as a student basketball manager. He then attended Vanderbilt University Law School where he graduated in 2004

Wow, GAY TRAVIS put a lot of effort into that rant. He mad.

Clay Travis? Never heard of him. Is he like the tennecheat version of Paul Feinbaum or something?

Just imagine Clay Travis' face instead of Harvey Levin.

Clay Travis blew Skip Bayless 5 times at Vanderbilt.

 

[Steve19]

So, he publishes this insulting drivel with the goal of generating brand awareness...his brand awareness. If he gets that right, then he stays on with the formula.

So, ignore him, then he and his model will disappear.

He says [Mark May] like:

"They like to look down on the South, despite the fact that Ohio State has never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game.
That's 0-9 all time.
(Stop with the emails, you had to vacate the Sugar Bowl "win" over Arkansas.) "

So our "vacating" the game means it didn't take place?

Another beauty:

"They already know living in the South is better than living in Ohio -- hello, they see your Facebook updates in the December sunshine, asshole"

Yeah, Ohio is the only state north of the MD Line that has people living in the south during the winter. Gotcha, Clay...

The South is one of the few places which I'd say is definitively worse than living in Ohio.
Not that there's anything wrong with living in Ohio; but most places are debatable. Having lived in Mississippi and Flobama for at least 6month stints in each, however... nah... I would never take a job down there.
Somehow I doubt he's actually trolling people's Facebook accounts either... and if he is, it's somewhat creepy... they're also probably on vacation (maybe for a bowl game?)

I will guarantee you that Travis states that Nebraska has the dumbest fans.

We're talking about the shit he gets wrong here.

Despite his comments on tOSU for this series this is flipping funny.

Clay Travis

The Alabama Crimson Tide fan base is the dumbest in the country and there isn't a close second.

What's the dumbest stereotypical Bama fan like in his element?
He's a 38 year old grandfather and he owns fourteen shirts, thirteen of which have to do with Alabama football's mythical national titles.
An important aspect of his life is that everyone must know that Alabama is his favorite team at every moment of his life. His truck, his trailer, his clothing, his animals, his arm, his parole papers -- all of them must include a reference to his Alabama fandom.
To not do this would be unacceptable.
When he was 19 he got a 14 year old pregnant, married her, and then got another, different, 14 year old pregnant and subsequently got divorced. Then he got a third 14 year old pregnant and there was only one appropriate way to celebrate this accomplishment while simultaneously combining it with his love for Bama football.
His tailgate was his canvas.

Despite dropping out of school of his own volition at the age of 16 he blames, "the Mexicans and Mike Shula," for everything that has gone wrong in his life for the past twenty years.
He spent the Mike Shula era in prison for passing bad checks at Mexican restaurants -- at his trial he said, "I wish they'd go back to their country, but leave their burritos," -- but he still felt compelled to send Shula fan letters from prison.
Every single letter began with, "Hey looser," and ended with "your gay."
His proudest moment in the past fifteen years was when he was best man at his son's shotgun wedding outside Bama's stadium before the 2013 spring game.

He "made it classy" by convincing his son to wear a houndstooth hat.
The wedding was doubly powerful because he had conceived the same son while wearing this same Stabler jersey and having sex with the third 14 year old in a Tuscaloosa Waffle House bathroom.
The circle of Bama fan life.
One of his other sons married a tattoo parlor chick and they got their picture taken for the family Christmas card.
That son wore his awesome new Alabama swag t-shirt.

Their fifth child was a football.
Even the family dog of the "smart son" can't escape having a favorite football team.
The "smart son" graduated from high school at the age of 20 and now lives in Birmingham where he plays in a band and "acts all uppity."
By "acts all uppity," they mean, "doesn't live in a trailer."

If y'all want to judge him, y'all can all go to hell and "kiss the rings."
He doesn't mean literally kiss the rings since he pawned each of his wedding rings and sold platelets to go watch the latest Alabama-Auburn game.
Roll Tide, Roll, bitches.
Home sweet home.

By the way, he just claimed another national title for this #1 dumbest fan base ranking.
He would travel to Tennessee to shake my hand in person if it wasn't a parole violation to do so.
