My issue stems from the personal attacks. Bad hair, talks with a lisp, is an idiot, etc. It is unoriginal, lazy, and cowardly.

Ok, fair enough, but why do you care so much?

I think he's intelligent and fairly amusing when he's not mixing politics with his sports BUT because he's chosen to get political so much and because I absolutely disagree with most of his viewpoints I can tell you that I don't like him on a personal level.

Hold up a second. You ask me why I care so much but then turn around and say you do not like him personally because of his political views? You have never met him. Never had a meal or a drink with him. Never sat and watched a game with him but you do not like him on a personal level? Why do you care so much?

I have been an acquaintance of Garys for many years. I personally like the guy but then again I have actually met and spent time with him.

He is not the only person I have defended here when people have gotten personal. Personal attacks on anyone should be moderated out but I am not in charge.

No, I don't like him on a personal level because of his political views AND because he constantly turns his 'sports' show into a forum to get on his political soap box

I would not want to spend time around or with him.

Let him come on here and defend himself if he wants to although I would imagine that he doesn't give two ***** what gets said here. I wouldn't if I were him........

I'd be fine with him if stuck to sports. He's no more qualified than you or me to talk politics or brain surgery, or tobacco farming yet he runs his mouth all the time. Even if he were conservative I'd still think he should LEAVE POLITICS OUT OF SPORTS.

I don't give a **** what actors, athletes, or radio sports talk show hosts think politically.

**EDIT** He also goes out of his way to slam and make fun of Christianity on his show. So not only does he drag politics into it he also waded into religion.

So yeah, I think he's way out line and have no desire to breath the same air he breathes.

This is one of the best posts I have read on here in awhile! Perfectly stated and I totally agree. I did not realize GP makes fun of Christianity. That sucks hearing that. I listened to gp a handful of times when we were in search of a coach. I thought he may have some insight as to who we may be targeting. Needless to say I wasted my time. On the way to the store one day a few weeks back I was changing channels and heard him do his bash fest on Tubby. I turned it off. I would have to get payed tons of money to listen to him.
