Pretty sure he only apologized after the beating he took from every corner. And possibly after his bosses told him to.

Also even Bammers were saying on X that they watched the celebration and they couldn't see anything out of the norm. plus I think McElroy's partner has a crush on TV and his green monster envy got the best of him.

I appreciate the apology. We’ve all said things we regret. With that said, he can still shove it. He’s seen Saban berating players, throwing hissy fits, and acting like a total ass countless times…that was all fine. Nothing to say about that. But a coach being excited and celebrating with his team and fans, after winning it all for the first time, is the one he decided to call out? Yeah, shove it.

Saban was the goat but he was stoic-to-prickly and not too prone to press the flesh. And he famously threatened to move on if the bammer faithful wasn't lockstep behind him. Was that classy?

McElroy apparently doesn't see the virtue of unbridled enthusiam.

I still don’t know what Tony did that was so embarrassing. The man shook the hands of the A& M coach and players. He complimented them on the post game interview

He hugged his dad, players and jumped into the crowd to celebrate with the fans.

I’m almost 53 yrs old and I love the fact he showed so much jubilation. A national championship is a once and a lifetime accomplishment, enjoy it!

All the emotions came full circle for Tony, the players and coaches, and Volnation.

Go Vols!

His apology is useless. What was he even thinking. I got to thinking maybe his comment was directed to Vitello's comment about putting dirt back in his own dad eyes. My Dad was hard on me also made me be a man. It was not meant as an insult to his Father, but as a recognition to him for his encouragement be strong and to be a Man. Maybe the little red head needs to have dirt in his eyes to stop his crying. You can't cry every time something doesn't go your way. Instead of crying grow up and change the situation. Don't get me wrong: Tears are cleansing for the soul. I cry a and pray daily about the situation in our society today. This society has been brought on by a sense of entitlement instead of paying your dues and earning it! This little man is way out of touch for his comments.

Never listened to anything McElroy had to say anyway. He’s boring.

First, he’s a Gump. Second, I think a lot of the talking heads lose their ability to relate to the game and the emotions of winning. Much of media today is focused on purely negative thought. They search it out and create negativity sometimes out of the most positive moments. They have been convinced that negativity sells. He has become part of the machine. Pay him no mind for the athlete that he was is no more.

im guessing since he compared his "antics" to WWE....he is referring to at one point when Antigua walked up to Vitello to celebrate, they both make the WWE "suck it" gesture toward one another, not toward anyone else (taking bothing hands and chopping between the leg/crotch area while slightly thrusting your hips forward).

it was a brief moment of the entire celebration and not that big of a deal. Some people (Mcelroy) just think it was classless because the WWE labeled the gesture to mean "suck it".

I get it. No bammer wants to see the Vols celebrate anything. The feeling is mutual, I hate seeing bammers celebrate anything.

You know you are back when people start talking s*** about you…that’s been one of the more annoying things to me over the last 15 years…more than the trash talk about how bad we are…is the polite comments from the McElroys of the world…you know deep down what they actually feel but since we were no threat they could BS about it to polish their good guy image…not anymore

ESPN followed Vitello around with the camera because they’re trying to grow the sport and TV is the most interesting person in the sport, followed by Kirby Connel. That’s why McElroy was forced to apologize. He’s working against the marketing.

Like any moron who can’t leave his personal life at home, the “apology” came off as more personal attitude. So now what? Can his ass.

I find what he said his “offenses” to Vitello’s behaviors were to be absolutely laughable. It’s truly amazing how people’s biases and hatred can make them say some of the dumbest things imaginable. McElroy certainly set a new bar of ignorance that any other broadcaster will be hard-pressed to surpass.

For whatever reason, members of the sports media now seem to be allowed to show their biases in a way that used to never be tolerated. If truth be told, McElroy should've been fired for those comments. It was unprofessional and IMO a breach of the trust that journalists are supposed to earn from their readers/listeners by being an impartial conduit between the athletes and the fans.

Lost all respect for him. What a complete joke. Tony did nothing but show excitement over winning a national championship. He is the people’s coach and loves the big orange fans. I would understand criticism if it was warranted. This was absolutely not in anyway

Little man syndrome for being the worst game manager (“quarterback”) to ever win a national championship. He’s a bum. You could tell Cueblic was trying his best to hold is tongue. f*** ALABAMA!!!
