This.
Clay posted a screenshot of the video that already went viral, Ainge brought even more attention to it.
Funny when Ainge is all of a sudden the voice of morality. He jokes up stuff like this all day everyday, but a picture is WAY off limits? Aparently they were talking about the video laughing it up just like 3HL did, and even used her name. Love all the people saying "way to go Ainge for standing up for girls!" Please remember these are belligerently drunk girls getting in a fight at a stupid horse race. Classy. If they didn't want to be seen in that light they shouldn't have acted so in public. No sympathy.
JayBay made an idiot out of himself arguing about ratings with Clay, imo. Clay is the ultimate troll and TSR fed right into it. Like someone said in this thread earlier... if anyone needs ratings it's Ainge, especially during the offseason.
I think he is something of a UT fan. I think most here hate him because he mocked the Dooley hire from the beginning and turned out to be right. Many on this board were those who actually believed a WAC loser was going to somehow succeed in the SEC.
The thing is, Clay Travis at least cared enough about the program to call that hire the travesty that it was. Contrast that to all the non-UT fans populating the Sports Animal, who were perfectly happy to tell UT fans over and over that they had to give that joke of a coach 3 years to destroy their program before they could make any evaluations.
That said, Travis should really lay off the personal attacks against Ainge. I can certainly understand Vol fans being upset by that.
Actually, I think it is more a reflection on capitalist society that the "Catfight" has been his biggest day on the website (I think Manti Teo was his former #1). I haven't even watched the video. I am more fascinated why this has generated more web hits than anything else. To Freak's credit, he keeps it classy.
I think Clay is largely wasting his talent. However, if he were to apply it to the things that I think would waste his talent less, he would make a lot less money. And, if I'm honest, I probably would have loved to come out of UT with my advanced degree and done something similar. And, as you know, I'm fairly successful myself.
As I get older, I fully understand the need to sell out. I've done it for sure. The "Catfight" doesn't interest me in the least. What does interest me is why it interests so many others. I can't blame Clay for what he's done. As he thanked his audience, they just paid for his eldest college tuition.
Thanks but no one cares. He is one of the best, that's why he's on Dan Patrick, has a website with over 300K hits yesterday, and dominates the sports talk market here in Nashville.
He is good at what he does, just like James Franklin, whether you want to give him credit for it or not is inconsequential.
