OT: Jason Whitlock Fired By ESPN ... Again
Jason Whitlock has been canned by ESPN for a second (and supposedly final) time. The thinking is that he'll land soon at Fox Sports 1.

People forget that he got his start at the Ann Arbor News. I'm not a fan of Whitlock, and it mostly has to do with the fact that I partially blame him for bringing us Hoke. Back when we got rid of RichRod and were looking for a new coach, Whitlock wrote a column touting the merits of his fellow Ball State alum Hoke, telling us he was going to be the greatest thing since Bear Bryant.
I think Whitlock's shilling for Hoke gave Brandon an extra layer of protection from the people who were saying it was a bad hire.

If you haven't read them already, the Deadspin artices on Whitlock and The Undefeated are worth some time. The guy is obsessed with himself.

Suffice it to say my reasons for despising Jason Whitlock go far, far beyond his wrongheaded shilling for Brady Hoke.

I am looking and not finding Spencer Hall's Dick Talk with Jason Whitlock, his response to Whitlock's idiotic Jeremy Lin comment. It was hilarious, but I can never find it searching on Google. It would have been perfect for this and I am bringing nothing to this potluck dinner. Sorry.

It was the worst person i have ever followed. Fuck that guy. He is a hack and a fraud who can only write two sentence paragraphs where he says the most outrageous thing he can with almost no intellectual backing.
