    can’t read the columns but the headlines seem like standard intense-but-really-for-all-the-right-things Doyel fare.

    Alma-

    All a semiserious conservative voice needs to do in this media habitat is stake out positions two or three ticks right of center and appeal to the sensible/moral on both sides.
    I wouldn't call myself a fan but I think he does that. If he's doing it purposefully it's a good hustle.

    I guess I'm saying he doesn't strike me conservative - knowing full well we may have different opinions about that.

    That's a debate I don't care to have anymore, with anyone. None of us should be walking representations of our politics. It's not what citizenship was meant to be.

    I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about, I don't know which sports take he'd had that would be considered "conservative." Does he want to go back to the old bowl system or something? Is he against load management? A big believer in the idea of clutch in baseball? I have no idea. I know he said Tom Crean was a nice guy after he got fired at Indiana. That seemed like a stand-up thing to write, given the way Crean can come off.

    Generally speaking, I feel like I read and hear mostly the same sports opinions, over and over again - some expressed better than others, some I agree with more than others - to the point where the Pat McAfees and Will Cains, much less Whitlock and goofball Travis, have an outsized, inappropriate influence just because they're...different. Not different in a good way either. Ditto with Joe Rogan. It's like 400 voices crowded into left field, virtually none in center and 25 people hugging the right-field line.

    Well, after a halftime show like that, more people were bound to tune in.
