I'm not going to defend saying it on national tv because lmao that's not something that should leave the group chats. But I still don't think he was wrong about RG3 being a cornball lol.

He deserved whatever punishmnet he got on that one tho, because that was incredibly stupid thing to say publicly on like loving First Take.

Never forget he was only on ESPN in the first place because he was fired from the Detroit Free Press for asking Rod Marinelli if he wished his daughter had married a better defensive coordinator.

Sounds like he should be a poster here instead of in media.

She's football nerd twitter adjacent with a solid podcast and does tv stuff too. Basically Bill Barnwell with a better home recording setup. She always asks a somewhat malicious question to her guest from her dog Lenny, used to do it in a doggy voice until she actually had a Seahawks player on her podcast and died of embarrassment from doing it.

She's a well-known woman who gets paid to talk about men's sports so of course that's going to happen.

As far as opinions go hers are pretty straight forward and not remotely outlandish. But yeah she's a young woman so she's going to get attacked for everything no matter what.

I love The Distraction but mostly because I will listen to anything Roth does up to, and including, his Hallmark Movie Review podcast he cohosts with Helldump alumnus Boniface.

Aw, it's deleted.

Read one of the stories and of course Garcia said not a single substantive word in response to her. If she was wrong it would have been easy to show it. He could have shown what Garopalo was doing outside of his 2 tds and 4 picks that was helping the team. He didn't because he couldn't. So he went to the tired garbage which, as Mina pointed out, for some strange reason he only aimed at her and none of the many male writers who made the exact same criticism of Garopalo.

Jeff Garcia being completely irrelevant all this time just to pop up for about half a day before being trashcanned back to wherever seems pretty on-brand.

During his time in Tampa Bay at 37, at the very end of his career, kinda. Earlier in his career, he was very good for the 49ers in the years after Steve Young was concussed out of the league. He was the main QB during Terrell Owens’ best years in San Francisco was the team was okay but not great in the early 00s. After they fell apart he bounced around a little (He’s on the Browns QB list/hydra, for example) before having a good stretch replacing an injured :mcnabb: in Philly one year and then a solid year or so in Tampa. His numbers don’t look great my modern pass insane NFL standards, but he was very well regarded for a stretch in there.

Doesn’t change that his tweet was dumb as gently caress.

TO demanded a trade at least partly because he firmly believed Jeff was gay, I believe he said something to the effect of "If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck" wrt to his suspicion regarding Jeff.

IMO he was pretty good.

the tragedy about skip bayless is that he could easily have his money and his cushy gig and just be doing schtick like every other professional sports windbag but i think that he genuinely believes in his Take Lifestyle and actually thinks what he does is important which is incredibly pitiful.

Garcia's wife, when in Detroit, would routinely call into sports talk radio angry about people unhappy about her husband.

She was also a WWE wrestler or something, but got fired because people hated her.
