bottom line: Gottleib took it like a man, owned up to his mistake, and apologized. Most analysts will not admit when they are wrong.

I had a nice little running e-mail conversation with him last year and he returned every e-mail and was engaging and even listened to my opinions on the Valley/UNI. I like him and I think he's fair (for the most part) in his analysis."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Why say something stupid in the first place?Originally posted by Matt Trump View PostTH1974: This guy was all-UNI, and wanted to show it by pretending to play a non-existant musical instrument in public.Comment

It's an analysts job to make 'pot stirring' comments. They're wrong a lot. Sports talk shows would be pretty vanilla if everyone agreed and was nicey nicey all of the time. I'm not advocating slander or lying...but a controversial statement gets people talking about your show."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Sorry, I didnt realize what kind of debate I started here. Actually my original post was more of a knock on the stealing credit cards thing. In fact, when I wrote it I actually had forgotten about the RH incident, as ironic as that may sound.
Obviously this is just my opinion but I think Gottlieb is no-talent, no-class, jerk-off that never did anything to "deserve" his position. Do I think he's learned some lessons along the way to become a bit better at his job? No doubt. But the guy runs his mouth as much as the big boys, its just that he's on-air a lot less. If you want to see the true Doug Gottlieb, listen to him when he fills in for a radio-host on ESPN. On radio those guys get away with a lot more because there are a lot less listeners and no tivos. He spouts off so many misguided opinions. Now some will say that this is fine and are "required" of analysts to stir the pot. However, when they are presented as FACT, that's when morons like DG lose all credibility.
Personally, I dont care if he is a torch bearer for the MVC (and I actually don't believe that he is... guys like him change their tune like the wind). I think its the wrong attitude to support him just because he supposedly "likes" us. Just like I dont believe you should hate someone just because they say one thing you don't like. If that were the case, I'd probably hate everyone on this board and they'd all hate me (and maybe you do!!
).
