I personally see eye to eye with Clay on a ton of things and enjoy reading his blog and listening to his podcasts. We are around the same age so I guess that helps as well.

He says it like it is and isn't afraid in voicing his opinion without worrying about offending someone.

He's a Shock jock then tries to be serious 5% of the time and expects people to take him seriously. He's an idiot

His twitter feed is always popcorn worthy and his periscope videos make you feel as if you're sitting at a bar listening to him talk

Try-hard professional troll, but knocks it out of the park once in a while taking on SJW stupidity.

I enjoy Clay as guest on another show more than a host on the Fox Sports XM channel. He grates on my nerves as a host. I'm more of the opinion he doesn't just voice his opinion, but attempts to be of a shock jock like Skip Bayless.

Just curious, are you African-American because I mentioned Clay to two blacks friends in a conversation and both said they hated him and thought he was garbage.

He is a shock jock as mentioned, but most sports radio guys are right now. I didn't like him at first, but I agree with most of what he says. Also, as mentioned I like him calling out that strange, weirdo Shaun King who represents the sick world we live in. That pasty white dude claims to be black.

He is a mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance.

He is not wrong; he is just an a-hole.

I think he's found a niche at taking on sports SJWs and is really good at it. His columns are usually 100% on point. He needs to throttle back on his own self promotion though.

Same here. He's one of those guys that is great in small doses, either on another show or as one of the hosts on the Fox Sports 1 Saturday morning college football show.

Agreed. I agree with the vast majority of his points, but often get tired of how much he presses things. That's what drives the ratings though, so I'm sure he's doing well.

Anyone who gives a interview to Kige Ramsey isn't worth my time.

Yep he tries to be anti-ESPN and be all conservative on sports issues. He's a very intelligent guy and understands that he can play that card. He involves politics in sports as much as anyone does and usually gets in a lot of twitter fights. He understands that he can play the conservative crowd in sports it can gain a following. He is usually 100% right about something or 100% wrong. He was right about the ESPN layoffs a few years before it happened.

He's a hot take shithead about on the same level as Skip Bayless. The little regard I had for him was atomized by his dumb-arse comments about the racial slur on the gate at LeBron's house.

And I'm a middle age white dude. People of all races can agree Clay Travis and Skip Bayless are clowns. I rather Stugotz, who is a parody of those guys, along with being the real-life George Costanza.

I don't think he is like Skip Bayless other than the way he pushes his views and says what's really on his mind. I actually agree with Clay on most things, Skip, hardly ever. I can't stand that guy.
