This doesn't sound like sour grapes.

Former bench warmer being a bitch

Funny how Downs never shared these sentiments. It's the guys who underwhelmed or never saw the field talking shite.

what is with all these ex players just bashing Bama at any moment? Or why is it that journalists keep asking them these questions?

Funny how he doesn’t mention he hasn’t done jack shite his entire career. He had a lot of promise but so far he hasn’t done much.

Why is he talking about Alabama when he's been at Florida State the last two years?

Lately, we don’t look like we compete in the weight room at the LOS. However, Earl was here in a different regime. Sounds like he’s just being a bitch.

Who knows ? Some hack journalists probably saw an opportunity goad a moron into providing some clickbait. I'll admit that losing Downs ticked me off at the time, but I think Ohio St is going to be sorely disappointed with Russaw, Smith & this schmuck.

Because Alabama has been the standard for the majority of their careers. They want to know what the ingredients were, and to hear that they're better at the school they support. It's just a version of confirmation bias. They know the kid their asking on their team now is going to say "it's better here" and they get to feel all warm and fuzzy and generate conversation

I don't know but if I were a coach, I'd sure use it as motivation.
