Chris Jones on Jason Whitlock

Too busy talking about Jay Cutler.

 

The actual share of true professionals out there lies somewhere between Jones' hypothesis and Almatown's

 

thin skinned and afraid of the mouse. By my count Jonesey committed SJ hari kari at least twice when he became unhappy that not everyone would kiss his ring.

Is it anything like the bug you have up your ass for Jones?

 

Except that I like Jones' in-print persona better than I like Whitlock's, his unsubstantiated opinion doesn't do any more for me than Whitlock's does. If Jones is picking a fight with Whitlock, he had his choice of weapons and unwisely selected the one that Whitlock wields all the time. He should have picked him apart with substance. I have little doubt he'd win that one.

 

Boom can say Jones has a bug up his ass but I can't point out that it's that very same behavior, that same ignorant noise, that chased them away?

 

So to further answer your question, Stoney (I hope you read this quick because some insecure lackey has an itchy trigger finger) the other reason all the prominent writers have ditched this place is the arbitrary moderation.

 

Asian transvestite hooker? That was a personal shot. He just basically called Whitlock gay. What does that have to do with Whitlock's writing? Where's the professionalism in that slander?

Jones mentions Gary Smith - and rightly so - but I think the thing that eludes Jones about Gary Smith's writing is the fact that it was never about Gary Smith whereas Jones almost always injects his own ego into what he writes. Smith makes the subject of his stories come alive. Jones too often spends hundreds of words describing how the subject relates to him as if Jone's experiences and feelings were the story.

I'm guessing that Jones wouldn't describe Bill Simmons as a "pro" either (that us unless Jones had a book or something he needed to plug).

 

And here - on cue - is the other reason all the prominent writers are gone. And he's playing the gay card because, sure why not. Let's include gay basher on Jones list of indiscretions which apparently include being able to spell for something other than a blog. So much noise.
