Chris Fowler has been employed by the Worldwide Leader in Sports since 1986.
He’s been one of ESPN’s leading men for a long time, but Fowler took a huge ripping on Twitter.
Members of ESPN are responsible for being knowledgeable of everything in the sports world. They are supposed to be the authority figure on all things sports-related. Alabama football is the biggest brand in the collegiate game, and one of the members of College Football GameDay did not know the Crimson Tide’s had a 4th Quarter Program since 2007. Fowler posted a photo of Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry in his 4th quarter program shirt. He said the team was ‘issued’ these shirts and that a message would be pounded all offseason. The offseason training program has been in Tuscaloosa since Nick Saban’s arrival.
Several Tide fans and former players responded to Fowler’s post on social media.

Prime example of people in the media being clueless and just creating a narrative https://t.co/hs9Y7h7Vuo

Imagine being a top 3 voice of college football during a 15 year dominance from Nick Saban AND NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE 4TH QUARTER CONDITIONING PROGRAM. https://t.co/BS1Rl19djL
