Reading through the brief list of “toys” Smith ordered to his office and wondering if any mocking fan commemoration could be made of it, similarly to when Gators fans taunted Peter Warrick with Dillard’s bags. But no, just too trashy. Ohio State employed a lowlife.

This whole story has hurdled the shark. Then came back and backflipped over it.

Hopefully anyone who thought McMurphy was a decent journalist now see him for what he really is, a hack who is desperate for attention.
Reporting something like this crosses all boundaries of balanced journalism, and any claim he had to doing the right thing just went out the window.
Not sure this does much for Smith- but I would imagine it helps Meyer since it clearly illustrate the desperation and agenda.

Can it be both?

Zach Smith is a POS, and McMurphy will do anything to try and get the clicks.

A reporter receives a video of an Ohio State football coach having sex with a staffer in the University football offices in the midst of a serious investigation and he is not supposed to report on it? That’s the takeaway?? Was everyone who reported on Bobby Petrino “desperate for attention?” 
 Zach Smith has some serious issues, and probably needs to be institutionalized somewhere, before he harms himself, his kids, or anyone else, that’s my takeaway. No wonder Tom Herman is supporting Courtney Smith.

Zach Smith is the former WR coach.  If him getting a blowjob is newsworthy, I guess it's newsworthy.  Hard to shake the feeling that McMurphy went from being a good reporter on an issue of importance to a tabloid reporter just throwing shit against the wall.

Yeah, he was just sitting there and he “received a video” lmao.    And it is relevant to the investigation of the head coach how?   Please.   Don’t even try.   The guy is as much a POS as the guy he is trying to ruin.  What is to gain by this?

yeah, or not.
McMurphy broke this entire story. If someone keeps feeding him more info like he's really not going to report it? Yeah, Ok.
Zach Smith is a ratfuck disgrace of a human being. Says A LOT about Urban Meyer's character to employ a loser like that.
Urban wouldn't be taking so much backlash if he wasn't such a sniveling holier than thou douchebag who clams to be some sort of arbiter of morality and just an awe shucks good guy. When all he is in reality is a hypocrite.

Just so I understand this....

-Zach Smith knocks around and strangulates pregnant wife.

-Zach smith continues to knock around wife

-Zach smith drives drunk PRIOR to publicly shaming and criticizing Nebraska coach for same issue

-Zach smith has sex with University staffer in football offices.

= Brett McMurphy is a bad guy

Makes sense

While I think more has been made of Meyer response than should be, I don't have a problem with McMurphy.  I remember he was basically the go to guy during the last round of realignment (when things got serious, he seemed to be the first on it and I don't remember him ever being wrong).

I haven't really noticed anyone attack McMurphy yet.
He's the only journalist involved to only report entirely on documents, many never-before reported, and none of them anonymously.
Plus, the trashiness of this latest news isn't on the reporter but on Zach Smith. And the details are sadly relevant because they go to character.
Also: The conversation can't become any trashier than Zach's behavior. He and only he defined that limit.
