Blake Barnett sounds off on Clay Travis for anti-Alabama column

So a journalist wants to compare athletes and doctors, yet there is no mention of where his weak profession sits. Oh that's right, you're not smart enough to be a doctor or athletic enough to play a sport, so you sit behind a computer and reach for a keyboard argument. One extreme to the next is a typical argument from someone that never has a true valid point.

I hate to see the players taking the media seriously... So much bait out there for these kids to bite on. A guy like Clay Travis could easily drag him or anyone into the mud.

Travis could be right about lawyers. Do you realize what kind of shape you've got to be in to keep up with an ambulance?

That being said, I though Blake got the better of the exchange.

History says reporters and mud slinging go way back. When a reporter famously ask Joe "Willie" if he "majored in basket weaving" he replied:"No man, I majored in journalism, it was easier."

Talk about a walk off.

You guys know Clay is a lawyer, right?

And went to Vandy too.

The closest most sports writers ever got to the football field was the half time show when their band was performing.

I'm thoroughly convinced that if you can use a colon correctly in a sentence, then you probably have no idea what it takes to be an athlete.

I think he needs some thicker skin.

Being a lawyer isn't necessarily a good thing these days with the flooded market. Very few make the big bucks like broadcasted in the 90's. Harvard Law Grads are even taking jobs for $40K a year.

He's mad, because all the lawyers are trying their best to help sue pharmacist company. Maybe I should ask him at lease two or three I have seen on TV I take.

 

[Tidestalker]

That being said, I though Blake got the better of the exchange.

I don't think that's possible when you're arguing with a clown like Clay Travis. The players could go online and find anything or anyone to argue with... Just better to not put yourself in position to say something that's going to piss the Coach off lol

 

[JoshB]

I really wish Barnett would have let it go and not responded. This is what Clay Travis lives for, he knows what he is saying is asinine and ignorant. I doubt he even believes it, he just wants to get a response from people. He is irrelevant, just like Fox Sports, and Bama players responding to him just gives him relevance. Yes, what he said was stupid, ignorant, and trolling but that was the point of it.
