I love all this Plyler bashing....

Supposedly grown men behind keyboards are calling out a guy whose identity and opinions are very much public. Funny.
Given the chance to announce your opinions to a significant portion of sports fans, I'd wager a great deal that the vast majority of you would either 1) tuck tale and not take the opportunity or 2) fall flat on your face.
For some reason people feel like it's not OK to simply disagree anymore. You now have to degrade and insult when you disagree, and do so in a shouting manner.
I don't always agree with Mickey and I don't particularly think he's the creme de la creme of sports talk radio, but I'd rather listen to him than probably anyone who is on TigerNet criticizing him.

Do you have any idea how stupid Clemson's fan base would sound if people actually tuned into that?
I might pay money to listen to that train wreck.

I wouldn't trade places with Mickey at all

and I'm ok with admitting that I don't want my identity nor my opinions verbalized to thousands of listeners.
I don't think I know enough about sports or about Clemson to be in such a position, and therefore will not criticize a guy who is in that role. I have no problem admitting that I don't know as much as Mickey, even if I feel I disagree with him.
The problem is we've got guys who can't do the job who are criticizing a guy who can. As a guy who can't do the job, I'm criticizing those who are in the same boat as me, yet think they are elite sports geniuses.
Not quite the same thing.

I understand that, but I think it's slightly different

Again - I can admit that I don't want my identity public, and that I don't have the balls or the knowledge to create my own radio show and put everything that I am into the hands of something as unstable as public opinion.
I'm criticizing anonymous people anonymously. The Plyler bashers are criticizing a public figure anonymously. I don't think the situations are the same. If you do, that's fine.

I do...but don't you think Plyler gets paid for his opinion?
Feb 16, 2010, 11:39 AM

I think if your ego is big enough to air your opinions publicly then your ego should be big enough to handle disagreement/ridicule.
It apparently is since i don't see him crying so no harm, no foul.

It's not like anyone is holding a gun to his head.
This is the life that Plyler chose to live, and from what I understand, most of the crap he catches is from TigerNet - which I have a hard time believing actually affects him. It's TigerNet, after all. There's a lot of radical, uninformed talk on here.
Plyler doesn't seem to take criticism harshly, and for that, I applaud him. Regardless of my disagreements with a lot of what he says, he seems like a pretty level-headed, smart guy.
I just don't see the hard part about simply saying, "I disagree with Plyler, and I do so on such-and-such grounds." People, for whatever reason (and this doesn't just apply to Plyler), feel the need to verbalize their disagreements in very distasteful, abrasive ways. I just don't see the point.

Maybe I missed it, but nothing has seemed too disasteful

to me.
No more distasteful than Mickey calling out Barker and TDP. He thinks they aren't doing their job. Some think he isn't doing his. What's the difference?

I stand by the hilarity of my earlier comment that talked about his marijuana views, though, and then to hear him not long after go on and on about how brave ARoid was with his admission, it was kind of funny and redickurous at the same time, but you are right. He is given a platform and handles it better than probably most of us here would.

I don't know enough about recruiting,nascar and some other stuff to have a good radio show.
But if I was allowed to have a tennis radio show...Y'all better watch out.

Mickey would be harmless enough if he did not periodically #### in to the fan and get it all over everyone else...
