    I can’t speak to the Hayes article, but Stewart Mandel isn't associated with SDS. He is formerly of sports illustrated and now writes for The Athletic. He’s actually my favorite college football writer - though, not being an Athletic subscriber, I haven’t read him in a long time.

    I recommend using very little of the internet.

    Haynes was trashing UF and Urbie back then too so this is nothing really new, looking around it doesn't appear he's written any articles about Kirby and uga, and what they have going is worse then anything UF ever did...funny.

    I remember those "The Sporting News" articles. He pulled the trigger on any shot he could take. Nothing has changed

    We'll have to consider banning Mr. Mandel until his "journalism" improves. LOL! :)

    If we go 3-9 or 4-8, Napier will certainly be sending out his resume. But we ain't going 3-9 or 4-8. We're much more likely to reverse those digits and go 9-3 or 8-4.

    This is an article that all of us NEED to archive!
    And when the Gators wind up victorious in the months to come then we can throw this back at him!
    Let the college world see the absolute worst fool that he really is!
    (I can understand how writers can be directed by their bosses to put out clickbait material.
    But to utterly sacrifice journalistic integrity for clickbaiting...
    is completely wrong!)

    Idk why people thought Swamp Kings would be a hit piece. No way Urban or Tebow sign up for a documentary trashing the team.

    Non-Gator fans are just salty that the program wasn't thrashed even though their programs aren't exactly squeaky clean.

    he gets a pass this year even with 3 wins.

    Nothing terribly wrong with the SDS article; I watched 3 episodes so far and Urbs problems have been presented in a favorable light.

    If you mean "he won't get fired" by saying he gets a pass this year with 3 wins, I agree. However, that kind of pass is usually redeemable for 1 year at a time.

    Not going to be an issue... Napier will win far more than 3 games this year. :D;)
