Are they? Or is it because Clay’s opinions are aligned with yours?
I’d rather sports dudes - Matt Jones included - to talk about sports. I DGAF about whichever political cult they belong to.
Politics are like sports these days.
You put on your red or blue skirt, grab your pom poms and root for your “team” no matter what they do/don’t do. The rival team is universally bad and your team in universally wonderful.
Nobody votes for candidates anymore. They vote for letters and colors. Both ways. Both equally guilty.
Not exactly true.
But, part of that chasm is due to the fact that both big parties have tried hard to secure the disagreement on key issues so that it’s hard to vote against strongly held beliefs about government, especially when you have two lying sacks of egomaniacal shat as choices.
I can’t disagree. Both parties keep putting up worse, more “extreme” candidates each cycle. Compromise and bipartisanship is dead. American politics are now rooted in “all or nothing” both ways.
Clay is scum of the earth. The lowest a human being could be.
I like Matt because he's always been good to me personally. I enjoy the radio show like I enjoy every other podcast I listen to. I don't see how avoiding things I don't like is "creepy"
I feel like its creepier to hate listen to his show just to disagree with him.
Clay still waiting around for DeMarcus to go to prison or Nah?
When it comes to Clay Travis I’m always reminded of the saying “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

Do you not find it weird for your entire personality to be built around hating someone?
Also OVW is an indy promotion just like 99% of wrestling is.
I think Jones can be kind of a dick to people and I’ve never listened to his show but good for him for carving out his niche and making bank. That’s what America is all about.
I give him bonus points that he doesn’t scream about crazy right wing **** and doesn’t try to sell MAGA boner pills to his listeners when he diverges onto political topics.

Didn’t Matt write a book about Mitch McConnell? Was it just about Mitch’s love of the Cardinals or was it politically motivated?
Isn’t Clay’s radio show about politics?
Reading this thread, it is clear that political bents are a real motivation for a lot of posters.
Finally, is it okay to take a pass on both Travis and Jones? I don’t find either very entertaining. I don’t begrudge either for finding success within their target audiences, but don’t care for their shows.
He wasn't on my radar until I saw him totally dunk on Matt Jones on Twitter. It was brutal.
Started following him and agreed with a lot of takes before I realized he was a Tennessee fan. As one poster previously stated, I can deal with someone who has bad taste in sports franchises and a lot of common sense over the opposite.
I'm a fan.

They can both have their own political platforms. That doesn't mean either are really correct but Travis is mostly a character who has created a version of himself to make money. It isn't the real him and therefore you can't really take anything he says seriously. Travis is mostly regurgitating talking points for his fanbase. Matt at least knows he will catch **** for his opinions and still says it.
Matt Jones has always come off as having genuine convictions based around helping people. Whether you agree or disagree with his politics I do believe he’s sincere.
Clay Travis only cares about himself and how much money he can make screaming whatever manufactured outrage is in this week so his listeners can go “Hell yeah! Own the libs” and buy whatever stupid **** he’s hocking. Limbaugh did the same thing.
He is the host for their Saturday afternoon slot between 1-5pm.
I believe its called "Gameday"
I don't hate him at all. I actually have a fair deal of respect for what he's done. He's mostly disingenuous and misleading when it comes to politics and his awe shucks background, but I respect the hustle and how well he's sold it. The part I find creepy is the ksr bros that follow his every move and post in every thread praising him. Like I said before I don't care what he does and I certainly don't listen; I just find it weird and amusing.
That said, clay Travis just has way more substance which is why he's gained way more traction and had a much better career; and will continue to do so.
good for him for being on their radio shows. I didn’t realize Matt was a big nfl guy
Ohhhh ahhhhh. Noone listens to those shows because of who hosts them. That's why Jones is on there after years of brown nosing his way around via weird selfies and "my guy" tweets. Still kudos because that's further than most of us could get, but let's not act like it's some superstar stuff.
Clay Travis sold his show to Fox for millions and has a gigantic audience on a daily basis that tune in to listen to him.
Clay Travis is who ksr bros think Matt Jones is
Ed is our village idiot. He's been wrong with every opinion I've ever seen him post. Pretty impressive really.
You go out of your way to seem stupid or does it come natural?
At least he found his true calling at the leftist network that nobody watches anymore except for the NFL and MLB games which he has zero idea about
I don't think it's wise to hate anyone. However, given how terrible a person Matt is, I could understand hating him.
You have no evidence to support that wild accusation.
He sincerely supports policies that are destroying our country.
I’m not sure how difficult it would be to become a political talking head but it sure does seem like free money. Just talking points to the lowest denominator. The issue is it would make you a polarizing public figure which I’m not sure I would want to deal with. I’m sure Tucker Carlson can’t go places without being heckled but it’s free money.
The ones who bash people like clay Travis or Matt Jones usually support the other.
You can catch it after the Rex Chapman CNN podcast at 3 am
I wouldn't associate myself with either.
... but you, You're alright ThoroughBlue.
In other words, I don't have much respect for entertainers profiteering off of political discord. They're only making things worse, laughing all the way to thte bank.
But Carlson strikes me as someone who genuinely believes what he says, and that has nothing to do with me agreeing or not. Same with Bill Maher, right or wrong, he believes what he says - maybe they're both just as bad in the end because people hate them just the same.
There's atleast some integrity there though, not that they wouldn't or don't lie in their business, but it's not the entirety of their MO like people are saying about Clay Travis, whom I don't know anything about nor do I care. One thing I wouldn't hold against him is hating Kentucky fans, that's sports, so what... I have no time for IU or UT fans myself.
Tucker Carlson is the epitome of a political opportunist. His “views” are whatever get him the most eyeballs.
Why does everything lead back to Tucker Carlson for the left? You all are obsessed.
He’s right on everything except being a UT fan. The local left wing media led by Matt Jones & Andy Sweeney cannot stand him because he’s everything they are not. Travis was right about UT being wronged with placement as 3 seed. He’s right that Biden is the worst President in US history but yet Matt Jones supports Biden and will not question him.
Politically he’s a conservative. Too bad he bleeds orange.
I disagree.
He, like his counterparts on the left Joy Behar or Rachel Maddow, fully believe in what they're saying, certainly the crux of it.
Ofcourse they will play to their base. If that's what you meant by "views," then yeah, they're all opportunists.
