The beat reporter called Rucker out for trolling a fan base then getting mad that they called him out. Then Rucker sent him a dm that said "hope enjoyed that shot. I don't forget"

My new favorite moment on twitter ever.

LMAO! Where can I see this? Is it on Rucker's feed? And FWIW, it's about damn time he got called out and even better that he got called out by one of his own. I don't know who the other beat reporter is but trolling fanbases for attention = zero ethics. You can either be Finebaum/Travis or you can be a reporter. You can't be both.

@Jtalty is the writer that called Rucker.

Reading some of his responses...Rucker has went superdouche.

It's pathetic.

Between him teasing UT fans with the whole Michigan thing and threatening someone via DM, I have a feeling it's going to be a long offseason with Rucker. His twitter behavior is why so many dislike and/or have zero respect for him as a reporter and as I mentioned yesterday, that poor behavior gets worse on twitter every time there's a dead period and he has too much free time on his hands.

Really, it is a shame because when he wants to he can actually write a decent article. But decent articles don't provide him the instant attention twitter does. However, he needs to make up his mind very soon about what he wants to be - a Finebaum/Travis style sports entertainer or a sports reporter. If it's the latter then his twitter behavior is shooting his credibility as a reporter all to hell and he needs to clean it up before he does it even more harm.

He wants to be different. If he believed what everyone else believed, he'd say just the opposite.

I wonder how much business 247 loses because of him. I've heard several people just on here mention Rucker being the only hold back on a subscription.

He's the reason I discontinued mine a couple of years ago.

I won't ever get a 247 membership or click on any link I know is his. I used to follow him on twitter but unfollowed him about a year ago. He just kept being more and more insufferable, and it sounds like it hasn't gotten any better. People like him and Clay Travis are what I hate about sports "journalism".

I live on long island and most of the population up here is NFL fans and they disagree every time the argument is made for NFL vs. NCAA.. but when I see a #2 vs #7 game and it is this pathetic especially the performance by Arizona I lose a lot of credibility in my arguments. I hope one way or another they allow FSU to move up and bama plays oregon because they will kill this small and somewhat speedy offense.
