After Gregg Doyel of CBSSportsline.com in his column trashed the Arkansas fan base as lunatics and urged Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt to run the score up on the Razorbacks for what the fan base and everyone else did to him as Hog coach, he came on the air with ARN's "The Sports Animals" on Thursday afternoon.

His rambling explanation of all the particulars of how he produced such a column is a hoot, but before the interview was over Doyel simply lost it and started blaming the show's hosts for wanting to ambush him, and yet, he played along.

Do we even have to go point by point in this column Thursday where Doyel showed he may be the most misinformed columnist in the country? Consider that the next time you read a Gregg Doyel column. Consider that CBS, which has the Southeastern Conference contract, employs him. Apparently, CBS likes Doyel's shoot-from-the-hip with limited knowledge style as evidenced by the "Hate Mail" section that accompanies it.

He calls Mitch Mustain a "prostitute" and Gus Malzahn a "pimp." Houston Nutt, he says, was the "john" in this recruiting tryst. Nowhere else, Doyel claims, has any fanbase come close to the actions of Arkansas' toward Nutt while he was coach.

Also, Doyel says he should have added the line that while he hopes Houston Nutt runs the score up this week, he also hopes he goes 4-8 "because you're an idiot too." Doyel hints to needing an editor, such as one of the radio hosts. He needs someone -- fact-checker would be a good start.

We've spoiled enough of it. Just listen.
