Fan-boys and wannabes make me puke, basically.

In short, the "impressario". In the culture of, as you cite, "some sports media", Mr. McCown has plenty of company. Unfortunately, and I speak from personal experience, he enjoys a demi-god status that is unimpeachable to some listeners. My point is, Mr. McCown and his antics is a symptom of a deeper malaise that undermines reflection on the culture of sport by men and women in the community paid to do so.
