One reason why The Cable Gamer likes Shepard Smith so much is that it's indisputable that he is a regular guy, despite all his success. The usual pattern is for media bigshots to buy places in the Hamptons, and for them to be sighted, as often as possible, in Palm Beach or Gstaad. But if you want to find Shep Smith on a weekend during football season, you had better be wherever the Ole Miss football team is playing that Saturday.
That's my takeaway from T.J. Walter's profile of SS in USA Weekend, which provides the Shepardian perspective on what to eat, what to do, and most of all, what to watch:
"There are no pundits or opinions on my shows," Smith says, "but when it comes to college football, there is only one truth: We should win every game, and LSU should lose every game!"
That's Shepard Smith Sr., pictured with his son, above.
