    Assuming he knew this would stir up controversy and thus get people talking about him again

    I’ve shared some of my own struggles with mental health on this board. I’m doing way better than I used to be, and opening up and talking about it was a big part of that.

    Sincerely, fuck him for this garbage-ass, backwards-moving of society take.

    $5M a year for consistently shitty takes and harping on Lebron while getting 50,000 viewers a day.

    It is absolutely baffling how he has the job. No way fox profits.

    He's just out here tweeting out more hot takes all night like nothing happened. Hasn't even made an attempt to clarify or apologize before going on a little nightly twitter spree. The apology may come tomorrow but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there isn't one and that the statement given by Fox Sports is considered the apology. Guy has no conscience

    No one does. I read somewhere the show's biggest audience ever is something like 350k.

    Imagine paying someone that much money to produce those ratings. Skip owes Stephen A about $10M at this point for getting him that money.

    His contract is up at the end of the month. He's trying to drum up support from the incel crowd for when he pivots to his own Clay Travis-esque youtube site.
