Dan changed that tune like shyt yesterday. "Aaron Rodgers and I don't have a professional relationship." nikka spent episodes and segments talking and interviewing him about non-football shyt.
That interview he did with Mina a few years ago is why people thought he was this thought provoking personality. All he said was Colin Kaepernick shouldn't be blackballed and that he's never gone through the things that his black teammates went through with police. Well no shyt Sherlock. It's wild that the bar is so low for white people when it comes to being an "ally".

It really is. Basically, all someone has to do is show up and say "I don't know, that might be fukked up," to immediately be showered with praise for being thoughtful, and get invited to the imaginary cookout.

There's a contingent of us on Reddit who tell him all the time. He rails against us on the showHow do we convey to him that literally no one tunes into the show to hear him

He's spoken out more against GB fans expressing anti-Muslim sentiments in the stands more than he's stood up for his Black teammates. He's not alone but the safest mf's in that league who are surrounded by Black men are afraid to speak out in support of them and not just the sanitized, not trying to offend White folks shyt statements that get released or said by public figures.
I said this last summer when every company was issuing "We Stand w/ You" statements. Them shyts were hollow af. A whole bunch of saying nothing to give the illusion that they stood with Black folks. The only group(s) that actually SAID some shyt was the UConn women's basketball teams statement and Ben & Jerry's. That should've sounded the alarm to everyone.

I wonder how true this reply is as far as Dan helping him financially. He's stating up higher how the show went downhill around the time Allyson left since it lead to more guests being booked around Mike's interests.
Lebatard probably put in on his GoFundMe and he got big headed about it. Sounds like a stalker.
Ehh, I don't fukk with Mike, but this can't necessarily be entirely pinned on him. From the picture painted on the show, Billy is doing a large chunk of the booking, and outside of that, people seem to be responsible for booking people related to their own ideas. Basically, they're trying to make use of the fact that they really do have the equivalent of your local CBS/NBC/Fox affiliate's entire production staff on the payroll. But at the same time, since they don't have ESPN backing, they've had to get a little more insular with their guest booking, and Mike is definitely the type of friend that you'd have that would consistently try to find some way to make use of your friendship for their benefit.
