He's also made the University of Tennessee into a punchline. To think that a radio host/Twitter personality has that type of power is pretty comical.

He may very well be that, but his views align much more so with a typical 18-35 male sports fan, than what ESPN puts out there (outside of Russillo). He's definitely "hot take" guy, though.

Why did this become a thread about Clay Travis?

I think because Travis tweeted something out alluding to John Skipper being connected to a sexual harrassment allegation.

He just tweeted that he thought there may be a bigger story to this, because Skipper just signed an extension last month. He also speculated that it may have to do with the Disney-Fox deal, because Murdoch's son is supposed to have some high ranking role in Disney after the deal.

You are an idiot if you don't think clay speaks on facts and logic. He may whine while he does it but he speaks on statistics and logic.

ETA: didn't realize who i was replying to. Everyone aleready knows how stupid you are

He has a rational perspective on most things, however, his personality and attention whoring is beyond annoying.

He speaks the facts & logic 100% of the time on twitter? I think we both know that isn't the case.

He also showed his arse during the 1st week of the University of Tennessee situation. Which still plagues that athletic department with someone like Phil Fulmer as the face of your university.

I hope Skipper gets accused of sexual misconduct later this week.


This absolutely looks like a preemptive strike against something and with today's #metoo witch hunt gaining strength by the day it's not far fetched to think that's coming.

Last week the Boston Globe runs a story about sexism at ESPN and includes allegations of sexual misconduct by former/prospective female employees against two on air male personalities. ESPN responds immediately by publishing the text messages between one of the accusers and John Buccigros (sp?) casting very serious doubts as to the truthfulness of the accusers claims. Three days later the President resigns?

It's funny when people who don't listen to clay Travis try and act like he just makes shite up. The dude bases every take he has on facts and logic. No emotion.

The UT shite made me like him less but from a pure entertainment perspective he's so much better than anyone else.
