    Elliotte, playthrough, please PM on conduct acceptable or otherwise. Far as I know, we have all been on good terms.

    It is a known fact that Big Boy posed, or at least overlooked, a "team" photo with the luminescent litany of sports journalists that have been belched forth by glorious Mizzou-RAH! and Kansas, at Arrowhead Stadium last fall.

    Hell, Whitlock even bragged about it.

    FACT.

    I'll repeat what I said earlier: Why is Whitlock writing about something directly after saying he's "(insert the topic here) abstinent"? He says he doesn't vote -- then goes on to tell someone running for the highest office in the known universe how to act.

    This is the second time in recent weeks JW has done something similar, the first being when he wrote about Missouri basketball after saying he hadn't been to Columbia all season. I guess I can appreciate the fact that he says he isn't witnessing/participating, but it just makes whatever he writes from then on ring transparent.

    Can someone explain to me why Whitlock has become the antichrist of SJ? Is it still about his defense of Barry Bonds?

    All of the above is exactly why it is inexcusable that Jason Whitlock does not vote.

    I guess I should applaud him for admitting it and not showing any political "dishonesty" by omission, or anything. But that doesn't make the fact any less unbelievable -- or a shame.

    And the column loses all credibility -- whatever Whitlock's ethnicity, experience or perspectives might be -- because of it.

    Can we can back to the topic of WTF is this running in sports? Not was he right or wrong, or should have or have not have written it.

    I've tried. No one seems to have an answer.
