Is Pollack a Dawg or not?

Just watched a video recently discussing Tua or Hurts. Near the end of the video Pollack makes his case for Tua. I have defended Pollack numerous times about how he is just doing his job when it comes to picking Georgia or lack thereof. At the end he was just saying how much he enjoyed watching Tua in the 2nd half of the championship. I dont see how ANY Dawg enjoyed that or can even comment on that 2nd half without getting frustrated. He adamantly is saying how much he enjoyed watching Tua taking over the game (Like it was a 5 course meal or something). I mean this is his Alma mater and I just dont see how anyone could enjoy that slow death that all of us dawgs faced. I mean I didnt even go to UGA but I feel like more of a Dawg than Pollack.
WATCH at video at 3:30 mark.......

As a media member/analyst your job is to remain neutral, and pay respect where it's due. In this case Tua played fairly well and deserves the respect. He added some color commentary (5 course meal) for entertainment value, to make it more appealing to the audience (outside of UGA fans, who I know are tired of reliving that game). I know you don't want to hear this, but he's just doing his job.
There are those on here who will want to ream you a new one.... not me. I watch the SEC network and I see Booger, Rogers, Spears, an even McElroy remain objective while maintaining their allegiance. Pollack isn't close.
He's a dawg deep down, but you know the saying... MONEY TALKS
This really is silly. David is a grown man with a job to do. it's not a nuts and bolts job either, he has to sell himself and entertain, the tasty thing doesn't bother me in the least.
Deep down was years ago. As @BamaDawg said, others have been objective and held up their alliance. He acts like it wasn't us cheering him on as he flattened Qbs, TBH it's sad. Just say pass man, just say pass.
R.E.S.P.O.N.S.I.B.I.L.I.T.Y.
The man has a job to do in an extremely competitive field. He'd be selling himself short and cheating his employer if he didn't go all in. Anybody could sit there and be vanila, he is there because of his exuberant personality.
David Pollack is more of a Dawg and a better DGD than everyone in this thread. I guarantee you that he roots for the Dawgs as hard as anyone during the actual games. Maybe stop over analyzing any little thing he says that’s not obviously pro UGA and get a life.
Compartmentalize
First time poster here......with that said you guys are comical with the hatred for former Bulldawgs if they dont give a response yall dont like. If you cant recognize impressive feats just because your team doesnt win then maybe you should look in the mirror.
⬆️⬆️⬆️ This doesn't suprise me at all.
David Pollack isn’t only ALL DAWG, he’s got some of THE GREATEST highlight film clips in UGA history. I forgive him. He’s “doing his job.” Gotta keep momma happy, & pay those bills!
AGAIN he can continue to do his job and maintain his allegiance. Its easy. All he had to do was preface his fawning for Tua by saying "Even though it killed me to watch, Tua ...blah...blah...blah..
Also, to say he is a bigger Dawg fan than eveyone on here just because he played for UGA is a st u ip blanket statement.
I agree, except there's nothing to forgive in my opinion.
It seems clear ESPN doesn't want their anchors, analyst and color guys showing favoritism on the job.
