    ... while pleasuring themselves with the fruit.

    What kind of fruit? What kind of pleasuring?

    And that's how he meant it otherwise he would have said "while eating the fruit."

    Has Jason ever pleasured a large grapefruit? Or lemon? Or pleasured himself with a _______ ?

    Maybe a donut or BBQ, but would Whitock know a fruit if it was in front of him?

    Grifters gonna grift, sure, but I just don't get how a guy who can claim to be for truth can so unabashedly champion one agenda. Sure, he may think the media has become grossly imbalanced on certain topics - but not all topics.

    Just about the worst thing you can call a columnist is predictable, and he's become entirely predictable.

    And he never could write.

    He can write.

    He's treating his ability to write like shit.

    What is it about fame that lets such malignant insecurity fester in otherwise normal human beings?

    It takes a craftsman to create a column with as many jaw-droppingly disturbed comments as this one. Wow.

    Since I know he reads this site, I think I’ve put my finger on it: Whitlock changed his style around the same time Patrice O’Neal was gaining popularity as a comic who poked fun at race and women. Here is Patrice:

    Over time, especially over the last 10 years, I started noticing subtle changes in Whitlock and how he dressed on camera.

    I really think Jason thought he was going to pivot and be the Patrice of sports journalism. That he could be controversial yet engaging like Patrice was — but he can’t. O’Neal had the ability to make you laugh yet think about some of the most absurd but true things in our society. Whitlock just comes off as Rush Limbaugh in a derby.

    Whitlock is funny, but not ha-ha funny.

    Patrice doesn't deserve this.
