The Birmingham, Alabama based sportswriter who began the Kiffin is recruiting "pro players" narrative is publishing a book entitled:

quote:

"Lane Being Lane: The Story of Lane Kiffin, College Football's Agent of Chaos,"





It's as if the media couldn't me more dishonest.

What's the opposite of the "it ain't much but it's honest work" gif?

Good. It'll bring attention to him even more so people can mentally validate what they read and they'll realize that it was mostly bullshite and that Lane really is trying to do the right thing.

Imagine being Talty, who would have no life without having Lane Kiffin to hang onto.

Talty's CBS Sports article with the "anonymous source" was what the SEC cited as evidence in their federal complaint.

It's all such a joke.

From an ESPN article.

quote:

"I can save you $33 and lots of reading time by summing up the book this way," Kiffin wrote to Mars in a text message, which was shared with ESPN. "Old unnamed sources say Lane used to argue with Saban, drink alcohol and hang out with hot women. New unnamed sources say Lane gets along with Saban, doesn't drink alcohol, but still hangs out with hot women."

I'd agree with you if most people these days didn't get their "news" from the echo chambers they inhabit and social media feeds designed to amplify anger and the resulting rage-baited engagement.

IMO this was a carefully crafted PR campaign by Talty ahead of the release of his book. Gen up a controversy about Kiffin, then release a tell-all book about Kiffin after kicking over the ant's nest.

Doesn't matter if it's mostly true or not - this was a money play for Talty, pure and simple.
