Ryan Clark doubles down: Pickens is faster, jumps higher, more explosive than Jefferson

You do realize that ESPN comes up with all of these contrarian narratives for each of their employees to endorse and continually support?

Of everybody was all saying the same thing, none of them will have jobs

Usually the contrarian argument is t something that is just objectively false

I mean it’s very easy to see who is faster and jumps higher it’s not a subjective opinion

Argue over subjective things sure, but this is just ignorance. It isn’t just doing one’s job and making content. ESPN did not tell him to argue someone with slower times and a lower vertical is faster and jumps higher. No need to make false excuses

“I think Aaron rodgers is a better QB than Mahomes because rodgers is younger”. Hey man, he isn’t dumb he is just doing a contrarian take

I don't understand why this bothers you or anyone else who exclaims disgust. He's not saying Pickens is a better player than Jefferson. So many people react as though commentators are purposefully trying to offend them.

But he is saying Pickens is faster and jumps higher, even though he actually runs slower and jumps lower

Nobody is “offended”, but why do you and others just accept blatant ignorance? This isn’t a wrong opinion, this is someone stating things that are objectively false

I would take less issue actually with him saying “Pickens is better” because that actually is an opinion at least

Basically they are both good. Who cares. Moving on

Eh….

Do like the rest of us, don’t follow Ryan Clark, don’t watch ESPN and chill.

He’s done it before, he’ll do it again. You admitted as much in the title of this thread.

Don’t pay attention to him. That’s why he (and others) are doing it.

If you had told me that I’d go from having ESPN on in the background 24/7 in the 90s to almost never in the 2020’s, I would instinctively know something had gone horribly wrong in America. How bad does your presentation have to be to drive tens of millions of sports fans away from a 24/7 sports channel ? It’s like turning heterosexual men away from a bikini model channel ; it should be impossible. It took thousands and thousands of bad decisions and takes to get us here.

There is nothing wrong with saying that..josh smith that played with the nba hawks was a better athlete than jordan,but not a better player

Dude. Jefferson ran a faster 40 time and has a higher vertical. It is objectively wrong to say he is slower and doesn’t jump as high
