National media discourse seems a bit over the top

I’ve seen a few Stephen A Smith and Paul Finebaum clips that seem ridiculous even if you were the most irrational Gump. DeBoer better hope he’s got a quality squad because these folks are looking to feast on him if he gives them an opening.

Two of the most "look at me I've said something outrageous" in the media. All they do is rage bait on everything. No offense op but I do not care about their opinions on anything and DeBoer shouldn't either. I don't even know what they said and don't care. I wished they'd both retire to Jamaica.
Granted I also don't like to listen to coach talk up the team, even though I posted a couple of links this morning with the disrespect talk. I am just waiting and hoping to see the talk get on field.

They've just realized its a no effort ratings hit to take shots at Bama.
Bama fans react and rival fans nationally cheer.
Its some ugly part of human nature to want to see successful people torn down for some reason.

I agree that they’re controversy mongers but you cannot deny that they essentially set the parameters of sports discourse: SAS more generally, Finebaum specifically to college athletics.
That’s what I’m saying that there is feast being arranged if our squad isn’t a playoff caliber team.

frick em. Man in the arena is all that matters.

One thing I didn’t like about the Saban era (one of the very few) was that Finebaum tried to kiss our arse. Screw that guy twelve ways to Sunday. Will literally say anything and knows absolutely nothing. I’m glad he now finds it more profitable to trash talk Alabama, which is the only thing that he cares about. He gives journalists a bad name, which ain’t easy to do.

The empire strikes back season, whenever that may be, is going to hit like crack. Hopefully not a ‘79-‘92 drought. Or worse, ‘92-‘09

I've read/seen the clips. Finebaum says that crap because he will say or do literally ANYTHING for likes and clicks. As for SAS, he acts like CKD called SAS's mother a whore on live TV. It's a seething irrational hatred on his part.
Then again, I've never thought SAS was all that bright either. He gets all the attention he gets by making outrageous and often false statements. He thinks arrogance is a substitute for knowing what you're talking about. It's not.

Both are Disney clowns.
But BAMA got their arse kicked solidly in 3 games last year. And the loss to Oklahoma was atrocious in its own right.
Also, not real fond of the players calling the head coach “DeBoer” versus “Coach DeBoer”. They do the same thing with assistants. Seems disrespectful.
