He is just a hater. Period. The sad part is he is completely shameless about his blatant hypocrisy. Just a sad human being.

Does Gordon Monson have something personal against BYU?

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.

Yes we do, with passionate and extreme prejudice.

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

baldcougar

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

The Y's Insider

10/27/20 4:22pm

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's the Gordon Monson of local sports reporters... oh wait... he *is* the GoMo!

Monson isn't a reporter. He's an editorialist who writes opinion pieces in which

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)

Forzaitalia

He does what gets him the most clicks. That's it.

He probably thinks BYU should have followed

Umm, is the Pope Catholic? I mean the actual Pope.

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

ColoSpgs

10/27/20 11:38am

LOL He's a BYU grad

shakarocks

10/27/20 11:38am

And of course he is now Tanner Mangum's FIL.

His whole family are BYU fans, including himself.

Crowgar

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

It's like coaching your kid; some favor their kid, others are tougher on Junior

HootnHoller

Yes and that’s why he kept his job. We talk about him and he keeps his job. Stop

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

NO, he hates everyone, including himself.

No. BYU fans are notoriously thin skinned and aggressive in attacking anyone

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...

He thinks he’s Max Mercy from “The Natural“: bigger than the players ...

BluesBrother

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

SinkingQuffa

He's not a coward.

The Y's Insider

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

lightmann

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