The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz made news Tuesday after Amazon Prime Video NFL analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick took exception to the line of questioning during the interview about whether his injury last season — that ultimately ended his career — actually happened on a water slide and not in a game as he has contended.
Mark Harris of Outkick.com wrote about the interview, calling the questions asked by the show “dumb”, later adding “When Le Batard and his gang aren’t talking about woke politics, how racist the country is, or ambushing Michelle Tafoya because she enjoys free speech, they sometimes welcome former athletes on the show.” Harris added Le Batard and Stugotz, in his estimation, got “the exact reaction” they wanted.
Le Batard took to Twitter to defend the show and also point out the preposterous nature of Harris’ serious response to the story.
“Oh f*** all the way off, Outkick,” Le Batard tweeted. “You can’t always take the other side against me so reflexively that you take too seriously a question I posed while dressed as a professional wrestler. And, if you are interested in accuracy, we asked 3 stupid waterslide questions, not 1. — Dan”, signing the tweet to ensure those knew it was Le Batard himself that sent it.
Harris replied to the tweet by saying “Thanks for reading, Dan!”
