Go Whitlock...Screw Wilbon

Jason Whitlock is one of the last true editorialists. You hate him one day and you love him the next. Isn't that great, a columnist with no allegiance. ESPN shoved him out the door a year ago for not giving out canned opinions. Now we're left with the ESPN sheep. Neat a network where everyone shares the same opinion. At least in news you get a choice with FOX or CNN. In sports you have no choice. Michael Wilbon referred to Imus as a Klansman the other day and said that he's...GASP!...always mean to Hillary Clinton. Hmm...wonder what the real problem Michael Wilbon has with Don Imus. Anyways back to Whitlock. He writes:

"Rather than inspire us to seize hard-earned opportunities, Jesse and Al have specialized in blackmailing white folks for profit and attention. They were at it again last week, helping to turn radio shock jock Don Imus’ stupidity into a world-wide crisis that reached its crescendo Tuesday afternoon when Rutgers women’s basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer led a massive pity party/recruiting rally. Hey, what Imus said, calling the Rutgers players "nappy-headed hos," was ignorant, insensitive and offensive. But so are many of the words that come out of the mouths of radio shock jocks/comedians."

Hey Everyone...Look At My Green Jacket!

In case you missed Baseball Tonight Sunday evening, Chris Berman pulled his annual gimmick of wearing the Green Jacket on Masters Sunday. Thank God he does that because it gets funnier and funnier each year. That zany Berman. We can just see it now.
BERMAN: Oh Karl Ravech is scheduled to do Baseball Tonight on April 8th....WHAT THE FUCK!?! (Berman storms into management's office) Hey Disney, did you look and see what April 8th is on the calendar?
DISNEY: Uh...let me look. Oh yeah it's Easter.
BERMAN: Oh, who cares about Easter? It's Masters Sunday and that means I do Baseball Tonight. Because of my funny ass green jacket. It's a great joke because the winner of the Masters gets a green jacket and I've come up with the clever idea to wear one just like they do. People across America wait for Baseball Tonight all day on Masters Sunday...just to see me and my awesome green jacket. Karl Ravech can cover PBA Bowling or go to hell. Sunday at the Masters is my baseball tonight!
DISNEY: Sorry bout that Chris.
BERMAN: Damn right you are. Hell next year we'll have Baseball Tonight at the Masters. The Sunday night game will be in Augusta..home of the Greenjackets.
