people i have met who know him IRL say he is just a filthy mf'er in private, though he does give some hints (i be poppin them viagras like tic-TACS! and his defense of the n word's heavy usage, for example). he is very generous and personable though. i get the sense he believes what he says most of the time, that's very rare for someone on television. he doesn't always think it through but in a weird way the contradictions kind of temper him, i dunno how to describe it but i feel like we are on the same page. i think that's fine in basketball and small doses of other topics but yeah, handling heavy topics on a week to week basis, nah, that's not his bag. they keep trying to give him a show, i dunno, it would have to be the right platform and more oriented toward sports. i remember him bragging about CNN looking to give him a show, and it didn't happen for years. this is his second show now and it seems worse than than the first.
