(3,956 posts)Not sure how he was chosen as the "hot takes hype machine person #1" -- but it is pitiful that he gets as much run as he does when people like Bill Walton and Kareem who are both more knowledgeable about sports and politics never got the same hype as SAS.

Most sports talkers work at stations that either have active RW news programming (WLW) or have sister stations that are 100% RW news programming.
Lots of "common sense" that betrays a shallow understanding of the issues.
Also: thank you for providing a text synopsis of the video. Because I won't watch a video.

My husband watches sports talk and when he comes I leave the room.
He is a lying repuke in hiding.
