ace, ignore this buffoon.

i saw wright at the ballpark on wednesday and he still hadn't gotten glass to submit to an interview. my sports editor spent the week in vegas at the apse convention.

this guy is shouting just to be shouting. let him shout and call names. i truly find it rather enjoyable. especially loved his chest-thumping about how great his life is.

What irony? There's no irony in your post. I'm sure there's sarcasm but that ain't no irony. Good writing skills. Solid. Sense the sarcasm?

there was no snafu....

wright's been working on a glass piece for about 10 days. i saw him out at the park. i didn't know when his piece was giong to run. i knew he was working on it.... everybody at the star knew i was going to be spending the week out at the park covering the royals and ripping (gl)ass...i said it on this board, i said it in a column from the nba finals and i certainly made my editors aware of it a week before.

i just didn't know what day wright's piece was going to run. we often run profiles and columns together. we run news stories and opinion pieces together....

the only thing i figured from wright's piece was that david glass was uncooperative and wouldn't talk about the real issues.

justsayno, the criticism of my work speaks to the importance of what i have to say. arrogant? yes. factual? absolutely.

and you're a lying bastard or the kc star has the shittiest sports editors on the face of the earth.

you say: 'i saw him out at the park. i didn't know when his piece was giong to run.' are you mentally challenged?

and then you follow that up with: 'i just didn't know what day wright's piece was going to run.' brilliant. really. the kc star, a major metro has no idea what's leading it's sunday section from one day to the next. maybe, just maybe dane boy is correct and his SE didn't give the nod to place that stunning pic on the page until dipshit already was on his way to the ball park at 6:15 p.m. ... but i'm going to guess not. in fact, i'm going to guess the SE knew this was going to be the lead story at least by monday and shared it with his entire staff ... at least the ones who were in missouri and gave two shits about something more than their own fat egos.

i'm guessing you're the idiot here chubbo, not your SE.

It is not unusual for a columnist not to know what is leading the sports section on any given day. It's not unusual for a sports editor not to know -- things change, stories need more editing, news breaks out, etc.

But keep up the fat references, Tomas. It's working for you.

Thompson's stories routinely suffer from a lack of sheer reporting. They talk around a subject, but not to the subject, or even really about the subject. If you wanted to expose David Glass, you dive into the revenues, the books, the works and you really do it. How long did have on the story? You'd have to think a couple months.

If Thompson's piece had been a knockout, you probably wouldn't have seen Whitlock's column. Truth is, the column illuminates the profile with better reporting.

I totally agree.

And if anyone else but this guy had said this, they'd be flamed for ripping "such a great guy and writer!"

jason_whitlock · Jun 26, 2006

that's because you guys don't realize that "this guy" desperately wants to be the people he criticizes. it's the oldest game in the book played by people who have accomplished little.

Herbert Anchovy · Jun 26, 2006

I don't know who he is or what he does and don't much give a rat's ass, but he almost always comes clean.

hey dipshit, just like with your professional life, you took this out of context. someone attempted to say i was bitter ... i responded saying i wasn't.

nice half-assed piece sunday ... i'm sure your SE loved it as well.

I shall be in KC in a couple, three weeks on assignment and I'll sniff around and see what is up with Whitlock and this curious hatred toward him.
Read him and the Star every day. See if great dane really is served anywhere in KC and chat it up with JDub since he'll surely be in the buffet line. Maybe even check out the fancy schmancy eating joint in the art museum for dane, but I'll surely take in a burnt tips sammich. Maybe that is dane, damn you Arthur Bryant's for your delicious BBQed dane.
I shall also investigate the Royals and the poker room at the Harrah's.
And on Thomas Earl Petty: I don't know if it is sad or hilarious. I've concluded that you are Whitlock's Pickle-Juice, a fictional character designed to stir it up. A prank gone awry, taken on a life of its own. That has to be why someone would equate having a satellite dish with the good life.

There are plenty of houses near my hometown where the furniture is on the porch or scattered on the front lawn, other possessions are all over the yard, the fence is falling down, the roof is in disrepair, the siding is all but gone, ... but by god, there's a satellite dish pointed at the sky. Priorities, priorities.

somehow, the description of your hometown in no way surprises me. ... i'm sure your family moved the broken down car in the front yard every month or two, though, so it wouldn't completely kill the grass.
