Clay Travis, Boobs and CNN

I thought the host over-reacted. She should have ignored his childish attempt at a prank and returned the conversation to the actual subject being discussed. Can't believe she was caught so off guard by a talk radio guy.

Clay Travis is an idiot. But the host and the other guest wanted to impress everyone with their self-righteous outrage.
 
Clay Travis is having his Whitlock-on-Oprah moment. He thinks he's building a brand.

Yesterday in fact he tweeted out the old saw that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

But like Whitlock he'll find eventually that isn't true. Bad publicity can unmake you overnight, and your craven opportunism comes at a very high price.

Just like that Access Hollywood... oh, nevermind. That was one bizarre exception, not the rule.
 
Travis is building a brand - but it is one that seems to have limited room for growth.
 
In the great age of race-baiting trolls, Mr. Travis is ascendant among collar-popping SEC douchebags who mistake cynicism for intelligence and money for morality. He's a blight.

But that's the market. If you have a decent-sized and relatively devoted following, you can live well. His economic-might-makes-right stuff is often bunk, but he's built from the bottom and that's a way to get by.

(I'm not sure how many writers he employs, but it seems to be at least a couple, maybe)
 
Even Yeats has an opinion of Clay Travis:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
 
He's trolling Pete Carroll this morning on Twitter. Yesterday it was Bob Iger. Have to give him credit. He has ambition. And the kind of low cunning bad lawyers are known for.
