Not sure why so many folks dislike him. He did a good job on the beat.

We can start with a couple:
1) Inserted political opinions into what should be strictly "reporting."
2) His football analysis was kindergartener level. I dont know how someone who has watched so much football could be such an idiot when it comes to the subject.

If he would have stuck to just being a reporter, he would have been fine. His opinions/takes/outlooks were just putrid his whole career. He wanted so badly to appear as a Mizzou football expert and he just wasn't. He is a reporter and nothing more (or should be).
