    I don't like it when people make jokes and say mean things about Whitlock's weight.

    It's body shaming and it's cruel and it also overlooks something important.

    Jason would be a shallow, broken, garbage person incapable of loving or being loved even if he was skinny or had abs like Cristiano Ronaldo.

    He's frequently referencing his Christianity nowadays, and one of the seven deadly sins is sloth. I'm a fat guy, too, but I'm not proclaiming I'm a MAGA Christian at every turn.

    In Ball Four the Pilots were playing the Tigers and Bouton wrote about George Brunet seeing Mickey Lolich, proclaiming “Lolich is fatter than I am, and gleefully shouting at Lolich: “Hey fatso” and “One man to a pair of pants out there.”

    This is off topic, but Ken Hitchcock showed up at the start of a Stars season in a new bright green tracksuit. Mike Keane told him that with a couple more pockets he’d look like a billiards table.

    No one else posted this? I’m shocked.

    It’s kind of unreal that the culture warrior cause of the day is to give the world’s richest man money.

    There's a chance Jason doesn't wipe his ass. I don't believe he buys toilet paper.

    So I can't compare Whitlock to Shoney's Big Boy? I reckoned S'sBB was the better writer, but uhkay...

    I used to lubs the Shoney's breakfast bar. Maybe Jason did too.
