I should say this about Ol' Neckbeard. I am envious. I wish I could give up the practice to spend all my time on football and attractive women. He truly outkicked his coverage.


A plug for ya, Clay! You wanna say 60/40 on the referral fee?

Now the bammers are jumping all over him, last week he was a solid journalist (Cam suit story). At least most AU fans still think he is a hack, a hack that discovered one hell of a story.


Sad part is he copied that story almost completely from the Bunker. A Bunker poster put those pics on there and Travis took them and ran with it...

No and here's why. This same question (or something like it) is asked anytime a story is written about a team that sheds some sort of negative light on their team. Greg Doyle attacked Urban Meyer and was threatened, called a loser, etc. Doyle wrote opinion pieces for the most part. ESPN is said to hate every team in America by each and every fan base.

Travis is writing about bammers now and you guys think he's a Perez Hilton wannabe. The story in question here is one that no one really knew about until he brought it to light. Isn't that what news outlets are supposed to?

I like his site and like the writers he has.

I DON'T READ......

Sports by Brooks
Bleacher Report
Outkick the Coverage

Or any of that dumb shite. The funniest part about those sites is when I see a redneck on facebook post a link to some ridiculous story about (MOST OF THE TIME) Auburn. I hate sites like this. I don't even give them a click.

EDIT: You can add Finebaum to the list as well. Unless he has someone good on the show and I don't have to listen to retards from every school call in and make themselves look like arse hats.

Isn't that where most of the Bama in trouble stories start?

Serious question for Bama fans.

Do you believe the recent release from your athletic department? Do you believe they "dissociated him" yet he was never associated with the program to begin with? Do you believe that they notified the SEC even though they told Clay Travis and ESPN earlier that they didn't? Do you believe that Mal Moore signed this on March 31, while he was at Madison Square Garden for the NIT? Do you believe that this dissociation letter sent on March 31 had the foresight to state that they were doing so in order to prevent "sensationalized journalism based on assumptions that wrongdoing has taken place"? To address exactly this situation, reaching into the future to get a dig in at Clay Travis? Do you believe this was done on March 31, even though Saban said on the radio earlier yesterday that they sent a cease and desist in December, and that he didn't see that Albetar did anything wrong, and therefore he didn't see any reason the players shouldn't hang out there so he was going to continue to let them?

Measured responses only please.
