Haha, that's pretty good--is that original?

Alternative possibility: he's an idiot.

He glows about Utah and its Pac12 membership. Seems slanted to me.

He is actually an equal opportunity offender. Utah fans hate him too.

I remember a post game press conference after a Jim Boylen coached, Utah team

Boylen: "Nice of you to show up." "Ball wouldn't go in the hoop."

Yep, that was a fun response from Boylen. He basically kicked Monson out of the room.

Boylen gets places in life cuz of his integrity & hard work.

He doesn't want to be seen as a homer and swings too far the other way.

That's it. He and his wife and some of his daughters and in-laws (Tanner Mangum)

He's lazy (like many "sports journalists") and has found a niche to hide in until retirement

He had daughters play tennis at Utah. I doubt his whole family roots for BYU

Gordon's smart but cowardly, too. So maybe he intended that as a compliment.

He's a BYU grad and has to go overboard to try and "prove" that he isn't biased/pro-BYU
