    That someone from Mediaite made a bad comp?

    Clay Travis is a Skip Bayless wannabe who trolls ESPN, which increasingly plays right into his rhetoric. I prefer ESPN be, you know, smarter.

    I remember liking the book, but it was so long ago ... Haven't watched any of the TV series yet.

    I think he fashions himself as more of a Bill O'Reilly of sports, explaining to everyone what "they" want you to think, but providing his listeners with the "real truth" that you won't hear anywhere else.

    It was OK. They had to add to the book.

    Irony in that the lead actor of the production is an active member of a religious cult.

    Yup.

    All you say is "Boobs? Cute line. You delivered it. Now to the other guest..."

    It's just the old Deadspin schtick, but adding a political spin to calling out the network for being pompous, ridiculous, whatnot. You explain the thing you're going after acts like it's the mainstream, but it really isn't, and the person reading is special by acknowledging it, not one of the sheeple.

    He's skilled at applying that, even once turning it on Deadspin in a moment of slight gaslighting.
