Clay did not have a Super Sweet 16 party. As a result he has become an embittered reclusive lawyer who longs for the days when Robotech was on in the afternoons and Heath Shuler was still UT's quarterback. He writes a thrice-weekly (Monday Wednesday Friday) column for CBS Sportsline's SPIN section. He believes the hippo is horribly misunderstood.
