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

His whole family are BYU fans, including himself.

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

He's a schmuck. He knows it was not cowardly, so the statement is intellectually

Best thing to do is not take anything he has to say seriously. He is paid to write a column. He does what he believes...

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

It’s a result of having the most Mormon name imaginable and desperately wanting some street cred.
