We need to face it, this run by Syracuse is one of the 5 or 10 best things that have ever happened in gottleibs career, without question.
He's gotten on national radio shows because of it, he's gotten it so JB gets asked about his stance on most every interview. The free publicity gottleib has gotten out of this is huge. Why d you think he was tweeting about this during the second round game he was calling? Because he knew the publicity he would get from doubling down on his SU call was more important than his work on one of Americas biggest sporting events. That how big this is for him.
And gottleib will never back down on this. He will never say he was wrong regardless of what happens. His role is to be the only guy out there who is willing to call bullshlt and he is the only one who is right. To admit that he is wrong would betray everything about his persona and what he stands for.
Think of him as the Paris Hilton or Kim kardashian of sports journalism. 30 years ago having a sex tape released would have been damaging as hell for a career, now it's a launching point. 30 years ago being wrong in a major way like this would make you a fool, now it makes him the one right person out there who is willing to call bullshlt and stick with it.
Every time we light up his Twitter feed or JB gets asked about it, or a national radio guy talks about it, his profile goes up. Face it, our interests are completely aligned here. If we win, he will be the only one banging the drum that we still don't belong, and he can do it all summer. If we lose, he gets one day to say he was right for one day and then everyone will forget. He's got as much skin in the game as all of us, arguably more really.
So let's forget about him. He is using all of us and loving every minute of it. Screw him.
