Good evening, sports fans – extra shout out to those fans in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) country.
As Jeff (@TalkinACCSports) says, we love college sports in general – but we really love the ACC.
We know you are all ready for college football this week. Until Saturday comes, we thought we might provide you with a little humor – something that caught our eye.
In July 2013, we introduced you to Richard Deitsch and Clay Travis, including their educational and professional backgrounds. We also showed you how the Professor, Richard Deitsch, schooled the pupil, Clay Travis. You can see that post here.
We fast forward to yesterday – and apparently Clay Travis is disappointed that his college football sports show isn’t getting that much play. Richard Deitsch explains why in a series of tweets – Clay Travis deflects from those arguments – and Deitsch still takes Travis to school once again. The tweets tell the story:
@ClayTravisBGID Your narcissism is as big as your trolling of Bama fans, hoss. I’m tweeting out ratings. I never mentioned you.

@ClayTravisBGID Plus, you once called me a “National WNBA beat writer.” Why care what a WNBA beat writer says? — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Before I discuss reporting, can you please stop swiping SI Swimsuit photos without permission: http://t.co/cg2LbOtWka — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@danpbell @ClayTravisBGID Out of my love for you, Dan, I’ll stand down for mo. We both know I’m at DEFCON 5 now. Happy to go to 1, anytime.

@ClayTravisBGID Let’s not get into PR requests, given your dept. has begged me and Ourand weekly to stop sending out FCS ratings.

@ClayTravisBGID @danpbell You continue to put words in my mouth. I said you need a CFB reporter with bona fides in reporting. Why? — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID @danpbell Because your show drew the same rating as a 4:30p rerun of Who’s the Boss on the TV Guide Network. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID @danpbell CollegeGame Day is a juggernaut. Go after them on news. That has been my point. From Day One.

@ClayTravisBGID Again, this all began when you told me I should profile you and that I was a “women sports writer.” http://t.co/we3yNvlST6
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID @danpbell Why care what a ‘women’s’ writer says? Spend your days on SEC fan bases and QB girlfriends. It’s working for you. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID @danpbell I like a lot of people on your show and all the behind-the-scenes production people who viewers never see, — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Define obsession? I’ve written about your show once/twice in my column. You want an obsession? You for page views & fame.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Clay, a guy who makes his living & pays his bills by mocking CFB fan bases should not be giving ethics lessons.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID As for your show: These were my impressions. On record. Including you. (http://t.co/EwUTETAbdu). — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID I’ve also never said you should be off the show here or on our site. I said it needs a CFB reporter with news bona fides. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID The CBS Sports Network isn’t rated. Ask Dan Bell for a lesson on all this.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID 1. You mistake me for someone who works for you. 2. “No one” is the jargon of Bayless types. Do reporting. Get specifics.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID As for Florio, Ourand tells me his weekly show does 43K or so. Why are you obsessed with that comparison? Strange. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Clay, your game is changing the conversation to same shtick. Anyone with an iota of intelligence can see it. — Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Now Forbes reported in 2013 that Swimsuit represents 7% of SI’s yearly ad revenues: http://t.co/LhsWR3CVz4
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID You just said “most money.” Will you concede that on this point you did zero reporting and were shooting shit?
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID Again, you complaining about bias is Clay Travis complaining about bias.
— Richard Deitsch (@richarddeitsch) November 12, 2013
@ClayTravisBGID My recommendation is to read other media writers then. I’m off to work on some women’s hoops stuff. Continued success.
