Media Approval Ratings: John Clayton
In our book, we said this about John Clayton: "Often resembles the guy in RoboCop after he falls in the toxic waste just before he's squished by the oncoming car." Someone classified this as "mean." We prefer, as always, "cheeky."
Anyway, Clayton is a perfectly serviceable NFL reporter, and he seems to get fewer stories wrong than, say, Mortensen. But Clayton really broke through on ESPN when he and Sean Salisbury had their initially real but ultimately staged "fights" on air. And look, John! You won! Where's Salisbury now? Definitely makes up for all those locker stuffings.
So: Do you like the John Clayton? Do you not like the John Clayton? Go go go.
