The exact moment that Jason Whitlock stopped mattering

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

20 years.

56 years.

Wonder how many good journalists have contacted the WSSU SID department for official information....

Alme-

whatever the heck it's all about, it's good fun to watch.

Whitlock loves to pretend he's Wiley's heir.

He ain't — not even close.

I can hear Ralph's laugh from here...

You might be missing out. Beyond the amusing elements for anyone familiar professionally or in passing with these two, they are a unique portal onto what black journalism can be, maybe shouldn't be, and never should have been. If you know the backgrounds between these two and watch SAS's Youtube rant (where he admittedly buried the lede), then I think there's a lot to break down and learn about how poisonous Whitlock has been to journalists of all stripes. I certainly wasn't aware of Whitlock begging the likes of Isiah Thomas to beseech SAS to give Whitlock another chance and to contribute to Black Grantland, aka, Undefeated. Jemelle Hill, Howard Bryant, etc., all turned him down too. That interests me as a former sports journalist.

Nah. What I've seen of it? They're both acting like morons and both of them abandoned any pretense of journalism ages ago for journotainment. Whether it's Whitlock being Whitlock with his "investigation" of something no one gives two forks about or Smith's ridiculous response to it, a pox on both houses.

Tafoya promised to be one of those nice conservatives when she quit NBC, but I suspect the MAGA machine has gotten hold of her.

I'm unfamiliar with these nice conservatives you speak of.

Who are they?

Oh, hey, here's Whitlock hosting a notorious anti-semite and Holocaust denier on his "show."

Whitlock doesn't know Black history for shirt ...

 

[Webster]

He's moved from pathetic to embarrassingly pathetic.

Talk about your bojangles.
