Hot takez, gone stone cold

[JayFarrar]

THE MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL IS CHECKING THE DATE - Every Day Should Be Saturday

So Clay Travis predicted that DeMarcus Cousins would be arrested in five years. On the fifth anniversary of that hot take, Cousins was named to the All-Star team and reminded the world the he had not, in fact, been arrested.

Twitter has blown up.

Clay Travis is a ****ing moron.

Clay Travis is a ****ing moron.

This turned out to be moronic, yes. But at the time he made that proclamation, Cousins couldn't even get along with ultra-player's coach John Calipari. Anyway, Clay Travis is far from a moron. He is a lawyer, has written two books and is a huge reason for the success of Fox Sports 1. Not many better in the sports entertainment business.

 

[User 1019]

Being smart and a moron aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Welcome, Clay!

 

[LongTimeListener]

Fox Sports 1 has success?

 

[BDC99]

Fox Sports 1 has success?

Seriously. Other than the lovely and talented(?) Charissa Thompson, Fox Sports 1 is unwatchable. Worst lineup of commentators on any network, up to and possibly including Fox News.

 

[CowboyCasanova]

Umm, Gus Johnson? Katie Nolan? For a time, Regis Philbin?

Donovan McNabb, Gabe Kapler, Petros Papadakis, Jay Onrait, Dan O'Toole ... shall I go on?

 

[CowboyCasanova]

Aside from McNabb, those are all talented people that make Fox Sports 1 watchable.

If you say so. I despise each and every one of them. And there are more that don't immediately come to mind.

 

[Key]

Why does Petros yell at me all the time? I don't like that.

 

[BDC99]

Buncha blowhards. And anyone who likes Petros is no friend of mine. I despise him above all others. Except Kapler. And McNabb. And maybe Roddick.

 

[BDC99]

Seriously, Kapler is the worst of the worst. Might be worse than Meril Hoge. Nah!

 

[Huggy]

As a Canuckistani I am quite happy to let you Yanks have Onrait and O'Toole!

Please, please take them back. I've seen them compared to a bad SNL parody of SportsCenter, and that's pretty damn accurate. I had such high hopes for FS1 and is pure dreck.

 

[CowboyCasanova]

Seriously, Kapler is the worst of the worst. Might be worse than Meril Hoge. Nah!

How can anyone not like Kapler? Seriously, he's a breath of fresh air. He always incorporates advanced statistics and sabermetrics into his analysis. He's the only baseball analyst I've seen go to ISO more than once.

I don't like anyone who thinks they're smarter than everyone else and is a total **** about it (sound like anyone we know around here? and I'm not referring to you CC). He knows his stuff, I suppose, but he's a douche.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Clay Travis will be arrested within five years.

Glad you caught yourself there at the end. Hoge is awful.
