Outkick the Coverage Mailbag - OSU Hate Edition
This is my first time posting, and I know there have been way too many OSU posts over the past 7-ish days, but this is just too good to pass up. It's Friday, enjoy a laugh or two.
I recently moved from Nashville back up to west MI, but I would listen in on Clay Travis' radio show once in a while. Mostly when something crazy happened in the world of sport, as his takes on things can be pretty comical. He's certainly entertaining if you can get past his obvious SEC homerism.

EDIT - Clay Travis is part of the 3 Hour Lunch radio show on 104.5 in Nashville, TN
QED
I found it pretty entertaining, thanks!
There have been times that I had to literally change the station because it was too much. I just take him for what he is, entertainment.
I am a Paul Kuharsky fan though, he pretty much tells it like it is...which is not common for sports talk in the "south."
Looking at his golf shot, unfortunately he fits very well with how many people assume sports bloggers are. That was awful and depressing.
"RT @BuckeyeMike91: I think your a piece of shit. Glad I left Nashville so I don't have to listen to you're bullshit" This might be my favorite Tweet of all time, it's like a Twitter double rainbow, or seeing a unicorn. This guy actually managed to use both versions of your incorrectly in less than 140 characters. Do you know the level of dumb this requires? It's pretty astounding, like the complete and total opposite of splitting the atom. Buckeye Mike is the type of guy who has spent his entire life thinking he's the smart person and everybody else is dumb.
Also: Ohio nuts are crazy.
and a good explanation of what it is he and the folks who run mgoblog do...entertain, compared to "true sports Journalists":
What's more, if you're a true "Journalist with a capital J" why are you making a living writing or talking about sports? Sports exist to entertain people. If you want to be a true journalist head to the Middle East and do bootstrap journalism while people are shooting at you. Uncover corruption at high levels of government. Do something that matters in life.
And, speaking of strange stuff in the media (ok, weak segue), Devin Hester is crediting training with a cheetah (more) for what he's hoping will be a better year focused on special teams this next year.
Is he gonna tape it to his back?
While I agree that mgoblog has its entertainment value. I think that what really makes this site unique is the level of actual information and analysis provided. The entire reason that I started reading this blog was because it is a perfect marriage of my nerd and jock brains - statistics and michigan football, there aren't many better combinations than that.
piece to be full of golden nuggets of pleasure.
People are so stupid.
Heard this while running yesterday: "I just literally die every time I hear it."
I work with two Ohio graduates and just recently got them both to admit that if given the choice they would send their child to Michigan for an education over Ohio..........Reading this cements it I am sure - Them Ohio righters was good.
ugh, that whole thing was vapid and inane. I just wasted 90 seconds of my life skimming that garbage. now I know to avoid anything having to do with this clay travis character.
Just a forewarning, he's going to be on the Fox Sports 1 pregame show with Erin Andrews on Saturdays this Fall. Stick with Gameday!
Don't forget about the amount of time it took you to log in here and complain about it. :P
I thought it was funny.
Well, it's not Dakich
I've been swimming in a sea of idiocy for the better part of this week. It's gotten so bad that I apologized to Alabama and Kentucky fans for calling them dumb.Given the amount of brainless trolling I see come from UK fans sometimes, that is mighty impressive
Wow. People just do not like Urban Meyer.
