After you get past Whitlock's ego, there's some funny lines in there, especially the Marriotti stuff.

She's going to get violated again?

I don't think the incident is funny. It's kinda scary (yeah, the 12-year-old who lives in my brain thinks differently, but I would never write what he thinks).

Clearly, Andrews doesn't think it's funny.

I understand what he was trying to do, but readers don't gerenerally care about sports reporters, and it came out a little mean-spirited.

Also, I just don't think he's sexy.

Let me know how you did this.

Funny for Whitlock's "standards", yes. Otherwise, it was a pretty awful column.

Agreed. I laughed more than a few times.

I find it interesting he bemoans a hatchet job on him, and then lays out one on a dozen or so of his colleagues.

Oh, crap, what's wrong with me?

Quite funny, yes. Got a kick out of it.

I can't take anyone who lives up to the stereotype of a black pimp seriously.

 

[JackReacher]

That was a juvenile piece of ****.

But how do you REALLY feel about it? :)

Sorry, I may have been unclear. I didn't care for it. ;)

Amen, IJAG.

Seriously.. Whitlock jumped the shark a long time ago. He's not funny, he's not hip .... he's just another asshat columnist trying to stick a finger in our collective eye.

Maybe if he spent less time hanging out on the Ball State message board and more time coming up with column ideas, he'd have a fresh take once in awhile.

Seems to have been written directly for the folks at SJ....not sure the general public will get any of the jokes.

But I did like this:

Mike Lupica: His Parting Shot on the next episode of "The Sports Reporters" will touch on the emotional scars he carries from paying his way through Boston College as a human bowling ball in the American Dwarf Bowling Association.

Sorry, but if you can't get Sex and the City right...

 

[slappy4428]

Dear Jason,
Mr. Lupica is not a member of the American Dwarf Bowling Association. We here at the ADBA take our mission very seriously. Mr. Albom is our media representative. Please get it right in the future.

 

[Shaggy]

Whitlock was already enemies with all those guys for the most part.

I don't mind attempts at humor, but I didn't laugh at this one.

 

[Bubbler]

What the hell was that?
