It's like they have to be the first guy right about something regardless of how over the top/unrealistic it is. I used to like a few of them because they didn't shy away from certain topics and gave honest opinions. Then they went for shock value
Clay Travis has made a living trying to be the guy who was "first" to predict something. Listen to some of his "takes." The guy is wrong all the time yet he makes 6-7 figures doing that for a living. 10 years ago, he was an attorney who had a humor column about SEC Football. Now he's one of the top "analysts" on Fox Sports. He really has no special knowledge or education that makes him more qualified to give an opinion. Its amazing but he's not the only one. They just move right along and never acknowledge how wrong their "takes" are. I really believe that your average sports fan knows as much as Cowherd, Travis, etc. Hell, Finebaum really isn't good or knowledgeable when you really listen to him. I watched some clip from Fox Sports from last year following the title game and one of their highly paid analysts predicted Arizona State to be in the playoff. Overall the college football media are a bunch of jokes. Makes you appreciate guys like Herbstreit and Rece Davis.
But let's be honest though, Alabama fans make it easy for them. They know what brings in the clicks and bashing Alabama/Saban will do just that.

These videos make me hard. Cowherd is that a-hole at the grocery store with 20 items in the 10 or less line that you want to physically assault but let slide because you know he probably has Downs.

Not sure who ever told Travis he was funny, but that person needs to be punched in the face. Unless you still think 7th grade humor based on degrading another person's looks is funny.
The sad thing is Travis is actually a good writer and an intelligent person. Not sure why he feels he has to engage in such adolescent behavior. The worst is when someone calls him out on it on Twitter and all his sycophants run to his defense.
