Whitlock dumped from The Undefeated

[goalmouth]

I'd say letting go Ray Lewis and Cris Carter still puts ESPN one up in the win column.

33 months (and now 2,863 words) later ... just hours away ... and introduced by a white man ...

ESPN finally ready to unleash The Undefeated

Good god, that intro column is 2870 words, which is roughly equal to what The Undefeated has produced so far. That project is dead on arrival.

How do LeBatard and Bomani Jones still work there unless they are cheap? It's not like they are versatile

Definitely one of the best writers Ball State has ever produced. In fairness, I think he's provocative and willing to address issues that many are not, but his Wire obsession, writing/saying things you can sense he doesn't truly believe, his insane self-regard, and that godawful playbook he put together for the Undefeated assure he's mainly just best at stirring shirt.

Someone seriously compared Jason forking Whitlock to Mike Royko? Mike Royko, the Pulitzer-winning columnist who wrote one of the most revealing political books of the 20th century.

Jesus forking Christ.

Which book is that? Looking for a good political book to read as the country slows burns this summer.

Meanwhile, Whitlock doesn't have any content on the FOX Sports website since April 25. Is J School toast?
