Rex Chapman Goes Viral for Wrongly Saying Pete Gillen Is Dead

CLAY: There is so much insanity out there. Buck, your national championship team, Villanova, is still alive. My national championship team, Tennessee, is eliminated by Michigan; I’m still not over it. My wife is a Michigan grad. As I was sulking over the loss on Saturday, she found me and said, “Well, at least one of us is a winner.” So very thoughtful of her.

But Villanova is still alive. But, look, they’ve got an absolute idiot imbecile in Rex Chapman, who is working as part of the programming. And this went viral after he reported as part of his analysis that Pete Gillen, who’s a former Providence Friars coach, was dead. I’m going to play this clip for you in a minute. But, Buck, this guy is only getting his job… He’s got a CNN+ show. Rex Chapman stole $14,000 in gear from a Scottsdale Apple Store.

BUCK: That’s a lot of gear. That’s, like, multiple laptops. That’s not, like, just one or two things.

CLAY: I was trying to figure that out myself because usually an iPhone, even if you’re paying full freight, is, what, seven, $800?

BUCK: And a top of the line Mac laptop runs you close to two grand, I think, $1500/two grand.

CLAY: So, $14,000, I don’t even know how you steal stuff like that from the Apple store because usually they go back. They come out and then they bring your stuff back out. I don’t know what Rex Chapman was doing or how he managed to do it, but he was arrested for $14,000 in Apple Store theft in Scottsdale. He’s a former University of Kentucky basketball player, played in the NBA as well, and was a successful NBA player.

But he’s lost his mind. He’s gone on full coronabro. He’s arguing. Remember back when Virginia Tech, the football season started, he tweeted out, “Oh, it’s the Corona Bowl.” He’s kind of an imbecile. It’s not surprising to anybody who has paid attention to his work, CNN would hire him, give him his own show on CNN+, put them on their basketball coverage and he would report that a fellow CBS employee — a guy who is also calling NCAA Tournament-related games, Pete Gillen — is dead listen.

BUCK: So, he’s not resting in peace, apparently.

CLAY: No.

BUCK: He’s walking around, hanging out with family, he’s fine. Is that what you’re telling me?

CLAY: Yes, and this is indicative. You can kind of laugh it off. But this is indicative of what we were talking about in the last segment, Buck, which I think so many people allow Twitter to be the real world, that they don’t even recognize what absolute insanity it is to be giving people like Rex Chapman television shows. The guy is an imbecile.

BUCK: I think less than 2% is active on Twitter on a regular basis.

CLAY: That’s right.

BUCK: For a lot of people in the media, they think Twitter opinion is represented there. It’s been said that Twitter is the assignment editor of the New York Times. There’s truth to that because people who work in journalism in particular think whoever is chirping them on Twitter is representative of what people actually think across the country and that is not true. (laughs) That’s not remotely true.

CLAY: Turns out, that’s not accurate.
