Sorry to be dense, but is this a new round of firings?
Terrible. There was no flash to him. Just informed reporting. I get his 3 hour podcasts on weekends + his “Cold Hard Facts” podcast during the week. It’s not the end of the world but I wish he was more judgmental on athletes who screw up.
Clayton is an unlimited fount of pro football knowledge. It is no mean trick keeping track of the full rosters and taxi squads of 28 teams.
Probably the best football reporter on the air. Has been for a long time.
White, older, and likely not Left wing enough for the Extreme Socialist Propaganda Network.
ESPN wants more Anti-American Kaepernicks.
ESPN should hire Obama as its LGBTQWERTY liaison and color commentator.
A Pittsburgh native. Was the local Steelers beat writer until he caught Chuck Noll holding a spring OTA in pads, which was a violation of NFL rules, and reported it.
The team was penalized a draft pick. The Rooney Family declared him persona-non-grata, and cut off all team contact with him (which effectively ended his job as the beat writer).
He had to move to Seattle to continue with his career covering football. Anyone who stood up to and suffered the wrath of the Democrat suck-up Rooney Family is A-OK in my book.
Clayton had kind of a Tweety Bird charm, and he wasn’t political. I’ll miss him.
