Whitlock:Haley shows some courage

Doubt it.

You have to be taken seriously for your columns to have any effect.

Jason has no credibility outside of a very small section of KC readers. His columns are seldom (if ever) mentioned by any news outlets I read (WashPo, WashTimes, NYT, LAT, WSJ, BaltSun) and I don't see his stuff syndicated anywhere.

I doubt he'd last more than a few months most anywhere else before they brought in a new columnist (who would probably run up a smaller expense account on food and beverages).

Here's where they tell you about his ESPN gig... guest host on the Jim Rome sow, etc.

Bill Simmons, who probably has a bigger platform than any sports writer currently going, specifically mentioned his column about Haley's coaching job on Tuesday, said that he watched the game, and agreed with his premise, telling his podcast guest that it was a really good column.

Listen to Tuesday's BS report.

Michael Lombardi also wrote a story about Haley - http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...composure.html.

The problem with guys like that are that they aren't there all the time. They're watching the games on TV, like the rest of us, and drawing conclusions from that. There's absolutely NO credit being given to Haley for the times when he's NOT yelling and screaming (and they're numerous).

Heck, look at the picture that actually appears in Lombardi's story. It doesn't AT ALL show a Haley that has no control or composure.

Bill Simmons knows absolutely nothing except for the NBA. His football and baseball takes are just awful.

That is completely irrelevant to the point that I was refuting.

MCF said that no one mentions Whitlock. That's clearly false, as evidenced by Simmons mentioning him just this week.

Ah. I misunderstood your point.
