Doug Gottlieb.
Doug is as close to a shock-jock as you can be on national sports radio...after having a show that followed Colin Cowherd and the SVP show on national ESPN radio for a long time, he now has a radio show on CBS radio (just renewed and promoted to the money slot) and is a college basketball analyst for CBS.
About half of his shows consist of Doug talking smack about sports and sports figures, his cynical 'Really?' being his signature phrase. A lot of his tweets are like that, too...he essentially trolls teams and players when he's live-tweeting events.
Welp, he definitely crossed the line today, though it's difficult to say we didn't see it coming.
So, Michael Sam, the first active openly-gay NFL football player (assuming he makes the Rams' final roster, which is better than 50% at this point), sacked Johnny Manziel during a preseason game this weekend. Immediately after, Sam mocked Manziel's signature 'money' celebration:
Typical for a linebacker to do so when getting a sack...and mocking Manziel in good sporting fun, who isn't the ::cough:: most humble guy in the universe, was embraced widely.
Fast forward a couple days, and Doug Gottlieb decides that his career is going a bit too well at this point:
"Really?", to quote Gottlieb.
He was almost universally killed in the comments, and it wasn't a bunch of people that wouldn't normally interact with him, either...lots of people who are clearly sports fans and otherwise follow Gottlieb for news and commentary found out who he was who he portrayed, unfortunately.
Of course, the 'Fox News' excuse came out first: 'Just asking questions.'
Then, the 'reword to what I really wanted to talk about, a concern that I didn't have until I exposed myself as a bigot and people called me on it':
So, celebrating a sack with a money motion is the same thing as an historical, emotional moment with your boyfriend, Doug?
"Really?"
Tell CBS what you think of their shock jock, on what happens to be his show's initial simulcast as well.
