I think people are forgetting just how desperate ESPN was to go after him in the first place.
Pat McAfee being allowed to act like an entitled hoe at ESPN, it seems

- Start date
I mean, that's everyone from Barstool Sports. All those folks still have the mind of a high schooler, case and point thay woman that they spread that rumor on.
I hate the fact that people who go to journalism school look at him and Stephen A as reputable journalists.

Stephen A is a reputable journalist tho
SAS is Charles Barkley of sports media; was a reputable Journalist on the East Coast and transitioned it to TV
Nowadays obviously he just be talkin but he grinded for his spot
Which is a problem in and of itself as it blurs the lines between entertainment and journalism and he's not the only one.
He now shyts on athletes for entertainment and hides behind the journalism label when being called out on it.
You said something that underlines your post and that's was.

Journalism school is the dumbest concept in the world.
There is nothing about true journalism that you need to go to school for.
Being honest and citation are the foundation of all logical discussion and what everyone learns in high school.
The notion that you have to be a journalism graduate is absurd and as an adult you should know better than to parrot such nonsense.

Sounds like a big headed pos, I always knew he was trash but maybe thought he was a little humble

Why does he need to be "humble"
How is he big headed?
He has his own product that was massively successful. ESPN partnered with HIS BUSINESS, he isn't an employee, he is a partner.
He isn't equal with the other ESPN talent in a very real business sense, it seems a lot of you don't understand that.
Then you through some self righteous non-sense like he needs to be humble to mask the envy, ie the hope that something bad happens to him, as if wishing that on someone gives you moral authority. SMH

There may be more to journalism school, but there is not more to journalism.
You cite your work, cite the support for your statements, you craft a narrative of , ideally honest, the events as they occured.
Thats journalism, that is how you document history.
If you investigate you do the same thing.
If you can do that, you are a journalist. Going to school for journalism is like going to school for any form of art, it is entirely non-essential.
He's definitely a white boy frat bro.
But he gets football players and coaches to talk more about the game than anyone. When he had Saban on after they lost the Rose Bowl we got more insight to his game in like 30 seconds than any post-game interview or First Take "interview"

Stephen A just went on a "fukk Bron" tour
after Bron did what he been asking folks to do for years. He is only getting bigger as he gets worse. Skip made a a career out of name calling. JRose did it to him and it became a weeklong discussion about athletes/media and Jalen never came back while he was there. And you saw the shyt with Shannon. Skip only lost his spot because he wasn't delivering anymore. I aint reading all thst shyt but from what I skimmed it doesnt seem that outrageous. Driven and/or successful people be on some shyt. When we like em we spin it and give em props. When we don't like em we act like they are irredeemable villians. When you reach a certain level its actually surprising if you not on some type of fukk shyt.
