    Sage Steele, Michele Tafoya, Charly Arnott....MAGA is putting together quite of a team of sports broadcaster-y types.

    Britt actually gave up that gimmick after her sexual harassment issues at FOX and her brain tumor.

    Arnott is the one who basically blamed the Covid vaccine for Bronny James’s cardiac issues, right?

    Correct. Not sure which of her medical degrees she used to make that diagnosis or how she knew he was vaccinated, but as long as she makes Clay Travis some money.

    Been watching Sage since she was on HTS, or maybe it was Comcast Sportsnet.

    If she thinks she's getting prime time on Fox News, she's insane. No gravitas there.

    Yeah, seems Sage missed a few First Amendment classes at Indiana University's fine journalism school. Or she didn't pay attention. Either way.. bye.

    I saw Britt acting like a perfectly nice and normal human being to security randos at a playoff game in the mid-2010s. I've always wondered if she snapped with the parking garage thing and then tried crafting a persona around it.

    No MAGA fan here, and I am not a fan of the legion of blonde white women who do so much of the speaking for the MAGA segment, but, and I’m sure I said this in the initial Britt post…

    but yeah, I’ll never have an ounce of sympathy for a tow yard person. They all work in some sort of trailer park/military bunker hybrid, with security cameras and bulletproof glass, and it’s because most people they interact legitimately want to murder them. Maybe that’s a sign…

    Yeah, no fan of Britt -- who most definitely leaned into what people thought of her after the tow-truck incident and made it a bit -- but the towing company involved in her incident was notoriously predatory, to the point where Virginia filed a 2020 lawsuit citing "frequently predatory, aggressive, overreaching and illegal" conduct.

    Sadly, the company only had to pay a $750 penalty after the trial. Prosecutors were asking for about a $700,000 penalty.
