ESPN is blaming Mario for Nico Iamaleava leaving TENN

The point of anyone who speaks on ESPN is to create attention and get people speaking about the outrageous things they say.

If you watch, listen or discuss ESPN, you are doing exactly what that network wants.

Exactly.
Which is why I haven't watched their so-called College GameDay show since Mark May and Trev Alberts were hosts.

The funnier part is, Mario leaving Oregon isn't worth bringing up compared to Mario letting Van Dyke hold him hostage for NIL before throwing 17 picks in two years while getting benched 10x

Mario has his many downfalls but one will always stick with me to the grave. When he was first hired he foolishly declared TVD as the best signal-caller in college football and that was without a doubt the dumbest words to ever be spoken but what other option did he have? Like you said.. being held hostage by a clown

Ryan Clark is basically everything that's wrong with this world packaged in one human body. D Money shouldn't even bother issuing a response to anything that moron says.

I thought that LeSean McCoy saying that Cam Ward is not a convincing #1 draft pick because he had zero stars in HS was the dumbest thing I'll hear ahead of May.

Turns out, Ryan Clark is an even bigger dumbass with that take. You gotta be a special kind of human being to connect two things that absolutely have no connection whatsoever.

This is the problem with sports journalism. The actual good, nuanced people are branched out whilst the media is racing to sign former players for big money to demonstrate on national TV that they've received too many hits to the head.

Agreed… if you use that continued dumb logic then all all #1 picks should be All Pros and end up with gold jackets because that’s how it works right?

Ryan Clark said Mario messed the QB market up giving Beck 4M when Mensah got 4M before Beck that’s the discussion who messed the QB market up. Not sure what you’re getting at brother

RC said Mario is “part of” the problem. What I’m getting at, is there hasn’t been too many other HCs comment on the situation. Especially with a multi million dollar transfer QB. More so the 2nd highest rated QB in NIL valuation. That’s the only reason Mario and Beck were mentioned in my opinion, is because Mario spoke on the situation. Even when his press guy was like, no more questions, after the reporter asked the question about Tennessee and their QB situation. Mario proceeded to take the question and give another soundbite.

No it actually isn't.

- A player wanted a pay increase
- The team decided not to give it him
- The player entered the portal & is going elsewhere

What's so wild about that?

If Tennessee wanted to keep him, they would've paid him, they didn't.

Come on bro be real

- I wasn’t talking about the process of a negotiation being wild I’m not full ******

- I was talking about the amount of money he is demanding and not receiving including half the transfer portal is wild (Wild West)

I refuse to believe that UCLA paid what they did to get him, and now he's not going to start?
In all seriousness, is there a worse-run athletic department for a massive brand than UCLA, at least football-wise?
