I can't stand his content but I can't hate the man. He made the correct call, was punished for it and time proved him right. I'd be smug as fuck too.
How many Aussie fuckwits wear that hat and would have no idea that Garapollo is the new Quarterback. Next time you see an NPC in a raiders cap ask them what they think the biggest changes to the offence will be with Carr gone.
He wears the cap because he sees it as something that other people do. And that’s where his opinions belong. In the realm of the generic, casual auto fan. You know the type. You meet them at bbqs all the time. They once owned an SV6 and consider themselves and enthusiast because it had custom plates and they used Bowdens stuff to wash it.

Michael Crichton sums up this guy better than I ever could.
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

It’s a meme. I can’t work it out. Like 16yo girls who think Nirvana is a clothing brand.

He's a know-it-all homosexual like every other kangaroo fucker
Alcohol.
Ever notice how he angles the camera so it's looking up at him, making him look alot taller
Disappointment. Disappointment carried from his father's disappointment in him. He never did well in school and never listened to his father. Nothing he did was good enough to please his old man. The days went by and he turned into the grumpy old man he swore he wouldn't become. Turning to alcohol and drugs to escape the loneliness and despair that has come to surround his dark and miserable fading life. The past grows longer and regrets mount, things he know he will never be able to change. His wife divorced him and his limp dick needs pills for his getaways to Southeast Asia where he fucks ladyboys and diminutive Asian women. He makes sure to sour the fun of any child he comes across, it's the only satisfaction he finds anymore.
he is Australian.

The raiders cap tells you everything you need to know.
Journalists = pretenders.
What do you mean the Raiders cap?
The thing on his head.
Yes but why did you bring it up? Why does wearing a Raiders cap make him disengenous?
Yes

He’s a short, bald, angry little man.
I still watch him every so often though.

It makes it easier to read the teleprompter
