He is a totally different person when not on ESPN. He went to fox years ago and had a great radio show. Super reasonable and grounded, didn't have all the yelling. Just sounded like a normal dude talking shite.


Remember when Stephen A. randomly hosted sports center like 5 years ago and didn't have his loudmouth shtick going? Everyone here was blown away by how good of a host he actually could be.

Hes the ideal modern example of a corporate shill. He sold his soul and is the equivalent of a black man in a dress.

Yep. Him and McGee wanted to believe the worst. Anyone with a brain knew the story was ridiculous.

Never liked him.

His writing is decent to good when he’s writing about non-southern topics (his Jordan piece is his best), but he’s a try-hard and has created this “dean of the South” image that is totally contrived and out of touch.

He produced the two worst docs in the 30 for 30 catalog: “Ghosts of Ole Miss” which made the integration of Ole Miss all about his family and the football team, and “Roll Tide/War Eagle” which that reduced the entire 120+ year history of the Iron Bowl down to Cam Newton, Paul Finebaum, and Harvey Updyke.

The guy wears a fricking fedora, drinks Pappy, and went to Missouri, as if any of those are typical southern things.

True. He’s definitely a guy who jams Eric Church.

Probably the guy that’s got his picture in three posts in this thread.

Just a guess

It's weird how JD Vance started out that way but legit became one of us. It def took me a while to trust him.

Marty reminds me of the bro's who were prancing around while singing about wranglers on their booty like Billy Ray.
