Whitlock done all around ESPN

I've always Thought about randomly capitalizing Words in a Sentence. Really hammers Home the point.

Sportsbruh: I'm going to the doctor now. If I just got brain cancer, I'm sending you the bill.

It worked For A.A. Milne.

Does that mean Sportsbruh is a Bear of Very Little Brain?

Lets look at the Winners and Losers - ANALYTICALLY.

Jason Whitlock was a regular on:

The SportReporters
Pardon the Interruption (Guest Host)
Rome is Burning (Guest Host)
Page 2.

and a few other segments on ESPN including Sportcenter and Behind the Lines.

I'd say Mr. Whitlock was a valued employee of ESPN. They REALLY liked him and respected his opinons and analysis. Now all of those things are GONE! Mr. Whitlock has now reduced himself to commoner status and is now on messageboards defending his beliefs regarding a "Beef" HE created.

The MOST egregious thing about all of this is that Mr. Whitlock TRIED to get Scoop Fired. A very disturbing thing, since it's always been hard for a Bruh to get a decent job.

Scoop Jackson wins!

Not only does Scoop wins in a Landslide, but Scoop has now raised his Star Power because a Beef ALWAYS get you more "street cred". Coupled with the fact that his retort to Mr. Whitlock is the Most emailed article on Espn, he's looking more and more like the victim of a personal attack from a Big Bully.

Mr. Whitlock doesn't see it now. (he's too busy pointing out the differences in himself and Scoop). Yet in a few years when he look up from his couch and channel surf past ESPN - Scoop Jackson will still be highly visible and the NEW Highly valued employee of ESPN with Rockstar Status and Mr. Whitlock will be the Hasbeen that nobody wants to be around.

Funny, isn't it, how Scoop's column and this post both refer to "Mr. Whitlock"? Coincidence?

You're right Scoop. Whitlock is not on TV anymore. But someday he'll be on TV again, and you'll still be Scoop Jackson.

I'd rather be Whitlock.

Zing!

Or...

Whitlock will look at the TV, see Scoop still Flavor Flav-ing during a shoutfest-billed as a talk show and realize getting away from the ESPN was the best thing he could have done.

I don't care much for his writing, but I've met Scoop, heckuva nice guy. So I don't think being Scoop Jackson is all that bad.

 

[Sportsbruh]

I'm flattered that you people think I'm Mr. Scoop Jackson. Yet, I sorry to inform you that I'm not.

A little black history for ya:

W.E.B Duboise (Noted black civil rights historian, leader and founder of the NAACP who also lead black people away from the Republican party) criticized Nora Zeale Hurston's writing as primitive and jigaboo-ish. Nora eventually died alone and pennyless in an unmarked grave (after penning over 10 books).

Along came Alice Walker (Pulitzer Prize Winning Author) who found Ms. Hurston's works and REPUBLISHED them. Nora Zeale Hurstons books sold like hotcakes. Then along came Oprah who made one of Ms. Hurston's books into a move "Their Eyes Were Watching God."

Moral of the story. Just because some PRUDE don't like your work TODAY don't mean you are not a success.

Mr. Whitlock believes himself as the "Patron Saint" of "black sportswriters" HE NOT!

I see Scoop Jackson being a Media Success and Mr. Whitlock reduced to (if anything) a Internet Celebrity.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Bruh, are you a journalist?

Whitlock has a great gig at the KC Star. He's twice the writer (both talent-wise and weight-wise) than Scoop. If you want to be a media wart, then I can see Scoop being a hero. But if you want to be a writer, you should follow Whitlock's path.

And it's Du Bois.

HE NOT!
