He said a guy that was on the Joe Moore award winning line was known for being the laziest guy on the team but that he also didn't remember him even playing at Alabama.

That's not being objective, that's being an a-hole.

I was stunned when Greg said that yesterday, and thought it was beneath him. To his credit, he did apologize on-air this morning and said he was out of line.

Greg McElroy was utterly classless for saying that about a 2-year starter at OG.

I've always defended him against people that try to act like he's a Bama hater. It is a ridiculous argument. He's not Tyler Watts on CTSN. He's the 2nd or 3rd cfb crew's color commentator for ESPN and a sports talk host for WJOX. The majority of the audience is not tuning in to hear him do cheerleading for his alma mater.

However, what he said about Taylor made me lose a bit of respect for him. I think it could hurt his relationships and the candor of discussion he has with other coaches around the nation in his national commentator job. Now some coaches got to think he's a guy who will shoot off his hip and say things mentioned in confidence. Especially if he feels attacked.
