Let's keep the Whitlock Love Fest going ... His T.O. column is terrific

[wisportswriter]

I just read it on the Knight Ridder McClatchy wire. Perchance someone can provide a KC Star link when it goes online Thursday morning.

Anyway, good stuff.

Why couldn't you cut-and-paste it here?

This is past pathetic. Please, get a life.

Really. "Let's Keep The Whitlock Lovefest Going"? For god's sake, censor yourself.

He doesn't have a free hand.

Well-played.

I mean for god's sake, there are columnists and writers well up the food chain from Whitlock who post here under pseudonyms. Maybe there should be a Whitlock thread that we can confine the slurping to. Tho his top 25 voting should be a separate thread, because it does generate good debate.

Seriously....what kind of schmuck would post a sports column...by a sports columnist....on a sports journalism website....and have the audacity to say it was good.

Shoulda posted about George Bush's underwear or what got stuck in your teeth at dinner tonight. At the very least, tell them the column sucked.

Cos gosh knows we never give Whitlock feedback here. :

For god's sake, there are tons more columnists doing good and bad work. Why don't we talk about them, instead of documenting every movement Whitlock makes, as if we're stalkers or something?

Judging from post counts, there are a few stalkers around here.

Borrowing his smiley. It seems appropriate. What part of my post do you not agree with?

 

[pallister]

You talkin' to me?

Who's stopping you, Dooley? Talk about anyone you want. He wanted to talk about the Whitlock column.....although if he had said he hated it, no one would have objected to this brazen thread.

Not directed at you Dooley, but every ****ing thread on this board lately is inundated by some self-appointed thread police, who have no opinion whatesoever on the topic, but need to express some deep concern over where it's located or whether it's worthy of even existing.

Anyone who doesn't want to read about whitlock or shield laws or boots' girlfriend or Grey's Anatomy can click somewhere else. It seems pretty simple.

Well, yeah, you made a comment about post totals right after my post. I don't think you were referring to WI with 101 posts.

I just read a column I really liked and wanted to share it with folks. It's that simple.
The fact it happened to be written by Whitlock, a popular subject matter on these boards, was purely coincidental. I did not go searching for his column - I just happened upon it during a desk shift.
And the title of the thread was written tongue-in-cheek on the heels of the thread praising JW for his bout with ESPN.

That I needed to divulge all this in depth is, in its own way, sad.

Carry on.

(Oh, and I didn't just cut-and-paste, Doc, because I didn't know if that was frowned upon. You know, giving out an article obtained through a paid service before it was published.)

We post stuff from the AP wire all the time. It's not frowned upon.

Geez, you need to lighten up. Just havin' a little fun with your prolific message board nature. I agree with you that people on this board seem overly enamored with Whitlock, but I think that's because he posts under his own name (very admirable, IMO), and some people dig that. No harm in that.

Obviously, these threads are a giant ego boost for a giant ego. But hell, at least they're not political threads.

 

[dooley_womack1]

I will agree with that last line in full.

Whitlock's latest column proves it: He'd be a better president than Bush. ;-)
