    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.

    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.

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