Dude, d… h…, just asked CJH what he thinks his Miami Dolphins collector card is worth? Told coach it was worth $2.41 cents. I would like to full speed truck that bearded jerk off.

I don’t understand the premise of this thread, but Spencer is arguably the best college football writer on the planet.

He’s gotten maybe a bit more, uhh, abstract, maybe…? since his close-knit friends/ coworkers and he left SB Nation to do their own thing (or string of things) that operates outside the sphere of influence of any established media behemoth.

But when he was exclusively “Every Day Should be Saturday,” (EDSBS), he was in a class of his own. I can’t remember exactly which piece it was, but he wrote something after one of the National Title games in the past decade or so, and I still consider it the single best piece of college football writing I’ve ever read. I just can’t seem to find it right now.

He’s not for everybody, and that’s okay. But man — he’s a brilliant writer.

I remember "Every Day Should Be Saturday", and I can't say that I ever found what they published to be interesting. At least to me, the material seemed overly self-indulgent. That approach can work great for a charismatic personality like Uncle Lou on a YouTube channel, but it's harder to pull off in print media.

Like with anything else, though ... To each his own.

Never heard of him. And I pay pretty close attention to college football.

Anyway, from what others are saying he sounds pretentious. And if I want pretentious, I can just go to a wine and cheese party with my wife. No thanks.

The show was great ita first season with McElroy and Spears. Since then it hasnt seemed interesting or entertaining.

I havent watched a full episode since then but what i have watched seemed silly and contrived.

I saw Spencer's interview with Heupel. I think he was just trying to be funny and lighthearted...and it was a little. But I can see how it could come off as a bit insulting (especially given that he is a known Florida grad). I guarantee if he was interviewing someone like Nick Saban he doesn't go that route (if Nick Saban had had a similar NFL career/card as Heupel). He just thought he could eff-around a bit with a young coach. Slight misstep. Spencer did seem genuinely impressed by the Vols win though!
