Leah gets too much unwarranted hate on here - this is her first year covering the program and learning the ins and outs and I think more people should cut her some slack

GG is everything wrong with sports journalism, spits hot takes but doesn’t believe any of it. He’s like the much more retarded but much, much less successful cousin of skip Bayless

LOL the fracking tools in this thread.

Y'all getting hard ons parsing every word of a verbal joust between a journalist and a head coach. Who has already proven himself to be a smartass.

You think this makes LSU look bad. But fail to realize the national media would just replay Kelly's halftime interview or maybe rant about his "fake accent" a little more to make a story.

It doesn't really matter. LSU will always be the story. Coach O's "geaux Tigahs" or punching himself in the mouth in a pregame speech. Miles' verbal gobbledygook. The list goes on. I'd rather this be the story than the USA Today talking about players raping co-eds on the reg.

You guys think this is news? Media chick gets called out for being three minutes EARLY and talked back to the coach. MY GAWD WHAT WOULD SABAN DO??

Seriously. A bunch of wussies.

I don't follow her stories enough to pass judgement on her writing abilities, but I do think her comments today at worst, were an ill-conceived attempt at humor with no malice intended. If I am Kelly, I gift her a Timex at the next press conference as both a dig and peace offering.

She can say she was joking but that video has gonna viral and it looks to the nation like our media doesn’t respect our coach


This is exactly right. A Texas fan sent the video to me this evening. I didn't know who the reporter was until I checked TD. The message is that Brian Kelly has little support in BTR and the media is comfortable disrespecting him.

As for the incident, few women are proficient at trading barbs. They just don't do it much; on the contrary, it's how men communicate with each other on a daily basis. Tensions are high and she should have realized it was a stupid and awkward thing to say.

That paper is in absolute shambles. It can’t possibly be in circulation much longer

John George’s will pay to keep it going as his way to keep involved politically. Unfortunately, it’s likely not going anywhere…..the mandatory parish notices keep them going.

She does suck at her job. No a total hack like Gallo, but she’s terrible. BK honestly looks good in this instance, the way he handled it.


Didn’t she have a run in with lsu fans right when she first started over some liberal take on twitter?

Get used to Leah Vann. She is a "diversity" hire and as such is bullet proof. She is about as informative as the female sideline reporters that tell us stories during slow times in the game about how the second string left tackle used to go fishing with his grandmother as a kid.

No… winning covers up everything. That’s not the same thing.

+1. See 2019

Because she sucks and has an elitist attitude. She came from money like most of these young reporters. Delly was an anomaly. Coach’s kid that happened to be an excellent writer.

Don’t get it twisted, Delly is a liberal hack too. Go back and look at some of his Covid takes.

heard her say that and cringed a little. Not her finest hour


WTF? I haven’t been a fan of hers because she’s a woke SJW but this was absolutely her finest hour.

She apparently had the biggest set out of anyone in that room. You don’t get to (even jokingly) get on reporters for being late when you couldn’t coach high-school level concepts.
