There’s a lot going on there. But what is there.

[TribalElder]

Is he still living in clay travis's basement

[Imon Yourside]

Interdasting

[Why Not?]

Someone with a subscription to The Athletic may be able to fill in the gaps here but apparently Rustin did an interview with Nick this week where Nick alluded to JW having quit his job at the Star on Nick’s show years ago? Apparently JW calls bullshit on that and the transcripts prove it or something? Maybe I’m way off but that’s what I’m piecing together based on the tweets by Nick and JW.

[BryanBusby]

So that fat fuck still lurks

[cosmo20002]

I don't understand the fascination with Whitlock. Yes, he used to write for the Star. So what?
Years later, every time he takes a dump, someone feels the need to post about it.

[chiefforlife]

He has become much more than a sports writer. I have seen him on Fox news many times and lets just say he has guts! (No joke intended). Seriously he is unafraid in his honest opinions. Thats refreshing in todays cancel culture.

[Titty Meat]

Was Greg Hall the dude who was really tight with my guy Craig Glazer (rip)?

That's because he can get away with saying things far right people can't say. He was throwing a different penchief thread back in his face.

Just sayin'

There was always a noticeable difference between Williams when he was confident and aggressive vs. when he was feeling for yardage.

It was noted in game threads for the last 2 seasons.

You can tell in the first quarter of most games what kind of day Williams will have. When he's getting downhill in a hurry and/or churning his legs through contact, he's a load and damn difficult to deal with. In do or die situations, he plays with that kind of abandon and it's showed on the scoreboard.

Blowhards on cable TV are a dime a dozen. I really don't see what's so special about him.

[wazu]

Claim to fame: I wrote for Greg Hall’s site for awhile. He wanted “Off the Couch” beat writers in other cities, and I lived in San Diego during the Ryan Leaf era. I’d been a fan of his work for awhile so jumped at the chance. Great guy. The pinnacle of my unpaid sportswriting career.

[comochiefsfan]

As a guy who ran high school xc, I knew Greg as the photographer at all the big meets.

Great guy. RIP.

I always felt like his Off the Couch newspaper column stuff sounded catty and jealous. Like he wanted to be a player in the KC sportswriter/broadcaster scene but couldn't, so he just nitpicked at Don Fortune or Whitlock or whoever was on in those days.
I might be wrong, but that was the vibe I got from him.

I can see that, but he also gave a lot of kudos. To me he came off as a fan giving thoughtful analysis of media sound bites. I remember him praising guys like Stephen St. John and Soren Petro as young emerging talents before I had any opinion on either. He seemed to have a love/hate relationship with Whitlock. And he was the first to truly destroy Kietzman that I remember.

I remember watching this after KK was fired. Classic outspoken GH.

A lot of whitlock's likes or dislikes (especially these days) depends upon what side of the political aisle people are on.

Same reason why some might say they "hate" bill maher.

maybe for some. I align more with JW on politics and less with Bill Maher... However, I appreciate both of them for being consistent in their beliefs over their careers, and find value in hearing opposing views.

I like Whitlock more now than I ever did when he was in KC.

You grew up in Kansas City in the mid-’90s, so I’m just curious: Did that childhood experience shape why you wanted to become a sports pundit?

Oh yeah, absolutely. I had Chiefs season tickets. I went to almost every home game for years and years and years with my dad. When I was, like, 7 years old, we had seats that were right behind the uprights, and it was my turn to go to a game, and I gave my seat up because of a friend’s birthday party. And the kid who went with my sister caught a missed extra point. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself. That was supposed to be my missed extra-point football.

There are tapes of it somewhere, this is verifiable. Starting at 9 years old, I used to call Bill Grigsby’s postgame show after every single Chiefs game, and I was “Nick the Kid.” That’s what they called me. They wouldn’t make me wait on hold. They’d instantly put me on. And that’s absolutely what inspired me wanting to do talk radio. I was on the radio as a young child.

Who were your guys in the media as a kid? Who were your inspirations in terms of, “These are the guys who I want to be.”

As a little kid, it was the Chiefs’ postgame guys. But other than that, and this is embarrassing, it was talk radio guys, and it wasn’t really local talk radio guys. At the time, the big local talk radio guy was a guy named Kevin Kietzman, and even as a child, I knew he was terrible. So I didn’t gravitate toward him. But I would listen almost every night to Ron Barr on “Sports Overnight America” and try my best to get in on that show. I would change my voice to try to do it.

You seem to really enjoy riding for your hometown. I’m sure it doesn’t read this way to everyone, but as someone from Kansas City, it’s almost funny to see someone being so ridiculously confident about the Chiefs on television.

So I loved LeBron. And I had throughout my career, so I was not going to hide that when I got on television. I was just going to lean into that. And I was like: My favorite football team is the Chiefs, but they’re like never going to be the favorite. So I’m gonna lean into the fact that I’m a Chiefs fan, too, because it’s authentic and then it won’t seem like I just pick the best.

I’m a Chiefs, Royals and LeBron fan. Who can dislike that guy? Then the Royals go to back-to-back World Series, and the Chiefs start a dynasty, and LeBron won’t stop winning. Now the Royals are back to being the Royals again. But every day, I get tweets like: “This guy loves LeBron, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Front-running!”

Man, I never thought it would be a possibility that me being a public Chiefs fan would turn into the audience being: “Yep, the guy just likes the best teams.”

You mention radio. So you were a young kid out of college, doing radio in Kansas City. I have to ask about the Jason Whitlock story. This is something that’s almost been lost because it happened (in 2010) right before Twitter became so dominant. You once hosted a simulcast radio and television show in which Whitlock announced he was leaving the daily newspaper then decided to nuke everybody publicly on the way out.

That happened.

How did that happen?

It’s a long story. I don’t really know how it came to be. Prior to that interview, Jason did not like me at all. After that interview, Jason, a year later, called my radio show uninvited and did 20 minutes basically uninterrupted about how I was pretending to be someone I’m not and how he was sad for me.

Four years (after that), shortly after I got hired by FS1, we had a meeting seemingly where, “Can we bury old hatchets because we work at the same place now?” I foolishly started a sentence seeing if we could find common ground by saying, “If you have respect for me …” and he cut me off and said, “Nick, why would you think I respect you? I don’t respect you. I never told you I respect you.” But somehow, in between all of those interactions, when he was quitting the newspaper, he announced that he was going to do it on my show or a competing show, and that was like a big event in Kansas City media. So I wanted to have him on.

I think it was mostly a train wreck.

It’s wild it happened. What were you thinking as it was?

The agreement was that he would do 60 minutes by himself without commercials. Then 60 minutes of me interviewing him. Then 60 minutes of phone calls. And at the 92-minute mark of him by himself without commercials, either the TV network we were on or the radio station yanked it. He was like, “What happened?” I was like, “Dude, what happened was, you’ve just been ranting for an hour and a half and you got into potential libel. That’s what happened.”

The funniest part was the beginning of the end, according to him, of print journalism wasn’t the internet, wasn’t aggregation, wasn’t technology. It was his resignation from newspapers.

The best thing that came out of this was, via that, Bomani Jones became aware of me. We started interacting on Twitter after that, DM’ing about stuff, and smash cut to right now, he’s one of my best friends in the world. He might as well be my youngest daughter’s godfather, and he and I, in a non-COVID world, watch every football Sunday together. And that friendship started because of the online stream of Jason nuking the Kansas City Star on my radio show.

I think that was like three histrionic resignations ago for Jason. So people lose track.

So how many Super Bowls does Mahomes win?

Listen, they’re going to win Sunday. So then they’re at two. People are like: “Don’t get ahead of yourself.” It’s impossible to get ahead of yourself with this. The guy has lost one playoff game ever, and in that game, he had the lead with 40 seconds left and never got to touch the ball in overtime. I think they are going to win this one, and then at least one of the next three. So then you’re at three in his first six years. Then the team starts to turn over, and we’re not sure how much longer Andy is coaching. I’m gonna set the over-under, as a gambler, at 4 1/2 and take the over. I would be surprised if he does not get to five.

I think if things fall right, he certainly could get to more.

It seems premature to think, but if the Patriots had called heads instead of tails in 2018, Brady is sitting at five and Mahomes right now might be going for three. And if Mahomes had won three, and they were his first three years starting … he’s the greatest player ever. Because they lost that game and Brady ends up getting another ring, now the numbers are stacked against him.

Hall wrote for KCC and many speculated it was Whitlock (the POS) who actually wrote his column. Even he joked about it.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Jason has always been a quitter.

[srvy]

Cant stand that arrogant fatso but he was still a better sports writer than JoPo. All that bitch did was write whiney articles on how Buck O'Neil needs to be in the bbhof and love stories about Joe Paterno and Penn State.

[srvy]

I remember Jason would sit at a table just outside of the VIP riser bandstand seating and listen to convos DT had with his entourage at Diamond Joe's. It was sad but funny it was a raised floor with a railing around it and a gate. Occasionally they would open the gate and let him in to interview.

And yeah I and my buddies spent too much time there but it had the best steak and baker deal in town on if I remember right tuesday happy hour. The two Asian twins were the bomb!

On a kinda funny note years after Diamond Joes Gentleman Club closed and later bulldozed. I had married and had two children I took my daughter to her first pediatric dentist when her permanent teeth arrived. Lo and behold I recognized one of the Asian Showgirls working at a well-known pediatric dental practice in Liberty as a dental hygienist. I remember she said she was going to UMKC Dental College as a DH. I figured it was the showgirl lie but she really loved oral.

I remember going down 50 and there was a strip club outside of Warrensburg that advertised all you can eat Italian for pretty cheap.

Always wondered what it'd be like eating spaghetti as some blown out pussy lips flapped in the air.

Place is long gone now so I will never know the answer.

[RealSNR]

People who love Whitlock for his politics are blind. They can't see that he's just an attention whore who says whatever he needs to say to get noticed. Ten bucks says he doesn't actually believe half the shit he spews out. He's a fatter and much less successful version of Skip Bayless if Skip bombed out of sports media and decided to work for chump change at the fucking Blaze.

Case in point: Loves Mahomes when he's on TV, then when he gets fired he all of a sudden teams up with rando douche haters and gives them an open platform to spew their poison without challenge. And I swear I've heard him say stupid shit about Mahomes himself in that time.

To me it screams, "Nobody's paying attention to me. I better piss off some people."

JW's political leanings changing 180 degrees seems to have coincided with a religious awakening he experienced at some point after leaving KC. I don't know the details, but the way he talks about it seems credible to me.

Well probably right but he had to eat. Big thick Delmonico with a huge Baker butter and sour cream. I have eaten at many steak houses in KC and this was right there with them. Never got a bad cut.

Before it was Diamond Joes that place was Rons Chouteau Inn for as long as I can remember. One of the best bar fights I ever saw was there. Started inside and then spilled out into the street. People actually fighting in the middle of Chouteau. KC cops came and every time they just about had the fights broke up, another would break out with a different group. Pretty much chaos. Finally a Missouri State Trooper pulled up, got out and started beating the asses of anyone he saw fighting. Was amazing how he took charge of the whole mess. Rons was a true dive bar but I had a lot of good times at that place in my youth.

Yeah I remember going there many times but I liked the place in the old place in Antioch Annex after Fireside Inn closed it opened as a nightclub with live bands I can't name anymore. There was a place off Englewood and at 169 near Leo's pizza that became Tanners and it was great to. Tanners then moved into the Antioch Annex for a few years and suddenly it became Bojo's which became a place that clientele was my age group. I spent to much of my life in bars till I finally married and she cured my wandering ways.

It's not bragging if it's good. But I understand it's probably the last place you would expect to get a good meal. Lot of people I told about the steak and showgirls made it a regular stop around payday. I think they had to serve food being as they surrounded housing Elementary Schools and churches which seemed within a mile. They where all working OT to boot them.

[BossChief]

Remember when Pioli was hired and jwhit went at his throat with the Brian Waters stuff? Yeah, jwhit was right about him the whole time. Then, had one of us go to the airport to pick up a bunch of $$ to donate to the SOC flyovers in an effort to help get him fired. He was a consistent reader on here and would chime in once in awhile, as well. He wasn’t a huge fan when I posted the thread about him leaving the star while he was still in negotiations, but it was worth the laugh.

Sounds Belizeable.

That is the best thing S.A.S has ever done. Awesome!

Stephen A. Myth in his 40 minute rant never once said that Whitlock’s claims were untrue… that Myth’s memoir is a massive fraud.

[Chieftain]

I've always thought of Stephen A. Smith as a loudmouth fraud. He doesn't provide any insightful football commentary, just basic stuff a 10 year old would know.

I could give a shit about his memoir, what he said about Whitlock and his career are true. If Whitlock were worth a shit or had anything interesting to say, he’d still have a job in sports media. He was given opportunities at Fox and ESPN that most people in that industry would kill for but he fucked it all up and has been reduced to being Glenn Beck’s step and fetchit.

ESPN is a flaming dumpster fire, hemorrhaging $$$ and cable subscribers.

FS1 gets lower viewership #’s than Murder She Wrote reruns on The Hallmark Channel.

Meanwhile Whitlock is relevant enough to trigger one of ESPN’s highest paid on air talents to go on an unhinged 40 minute cry fest.

Advantage Whitlock.

[backinblack]

only good thing about Smith is his clowning on Cowboys fans when they lose

[bringbackmarty]

Whitlock is ****ing stupid, they all are. It's a business model, not journalism. Can't stand any of them. I like the team pressers. I wish I could have a business miking the reporters during the pressers.its not hard or expensive,kinda like putting your blinker on. Just a couple of steps an boom better product

[Rausch]

Wright and Whit can love or hate each other. That's their problem.

I enjoy both at times. I strongly disagree with both at times. If I start to feel myself going "Meeeh, pass-" then I do and I tune in again next time...

Kudos for watching all of that. I made it about 2 minutes in and couldn't take it anymore. Seemed like he was just trying to promote his own shit. Him talking is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Whitlock has always had good opinions and content. His problem from my POV is that he’s been unable to get along with/play nice with others at virtually every place he’s been. He’s had messy public exits at most if not all of his stops which has stunted his career in spite of the fact that his talent keeps affording him high profile opportunities.

Whitlock can be many things but stupid he is not. Few sports writers can tell a story better than Whitlock. That's his gift, knowing how to piece together a sports column. Peter King is the master of all but Whitlock is not far behind.

[FloridaMan88]

Whitlock triggered Stephen A Myth into a Baker Act-worthy meltdown. ROFL

Then why can’t he find a bigger audience for his content? He couldn’t even stay on at Outkick. If you have the talent and are capable of building a big following, someone’s going to scratch you a big check and will put up with a certain amount of your bullshit (see Pat Mcaffee). Whitlock has become unemployable outside of fringe media because he’s more trouble than he’s worth.

I fully support Whitlock in this Stephen A thing but it's really something how many journalists and sports people are celebrating SAS's takedown of him (and the porn ad thing before that). And how I haven't seen anybody that has ever worked with Jason pipe up with something nice to say about him.

Whitlock is an extremely talented writer. He's also burned every bridge imaginable and is only employable now as a "look, I have a black friend!" hire in lower-tier right wing media. Thanks in part to a religious awakening that coincidentally happened at the same time he fell out with the last sports site that would have him. What's the move after this one goes goes bad, seeing if Alex Jones is hiring? Going full Clayton Bigsby?

I started reading him as a kid. Between that and his talent I want to feel bad for him. Then I remember he's done this all to himself.

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

The sports media is "celebrating" Stephen A. Myth's "takedown" because SAS is part of their group and Whitlock isn't.

It is high school level stuff.

There's some truth to this. I don't think this is going to get Jason the publicity that he thinks he needs...Think this is probably more of a boon for Steven A. Smith. Smiths' show sucks. Ratings are frequently in the toilet...By hook or crook he needs to inject freshness and excitement into his stale boring ass act and Whitlock couldn't help himself. Perfect target for Smith to rant and mug into the camera about...But the fact that all the journo's turned on one of their own to embrace a bozo clown really is a sad state of affairs in journo-land. Not a surprise though.

[Dunerdr]

So Jason Whitlock is crashing the CP servers. Permaban?

That doesn't explain the glee at which the "why am I getting dirty ads" thing spread among the same people just a week or so prior, because there wasn't anyone taking him down in that instance.

They just enjoy seeing Whitlock get embarrassed and shit on, which speaks to how how disliked he is in his (former) profession. The level of hate for him is not something you see towards someone who treated others well.

Sage Steele came out in support of Whitlock.

There are no doubt many others who are enjoying watching Whitlock expose Stephen A. Myth for the fraud that he is… but are too afraid to speak out.

Please tell me Whitlock isn't this dumb? The CIAA would have him in their Hall of Fame with a bio that explicitly states he received a scholarship to play there and his career was cut short due to injury as a lie? He'd have actual available statistics from playing (that suck) as well with his whopping 1.5 ppg and 20% fgp? I mean, you can beat the tree about Steven A being some jackass and fraud over alot of topics, but this is not really one of them.

[ModSocks]

This is black on black crime.

[Chiefnj2]

Does Whitlock even write sports articles anymore?

[KC_Connection]

Does Whitlock even write sports articles anymore?
Nah, I think he's just a podcaster/blogger trying to con right wingers now. He's burned pretty much every bridge in sports media, but there's at least good money to be made online doing that and he's figured that much out.

How do you average 1.5 PPG if you only play in one career game?

[kccrow]

How do you average 1.5 PPG if you only play in one career game?

Probably bullshit haha. I don't think he actually played enough minutes to get any. I remember him saying something on his show about not scoring because he broke his kneecap and never played again. Maybe he did score a bucket or two, but it was so long ago you can't find verifiable stats. He did get a scholarship to the school for basketball though, that much is verifiable.

[MarkDavis'Haircut]

Lots of opinions on here.

Jwhit's have given him a net worth of 10 mill.

The NCAA has been collecting stats since the 1930s.

His story is hilarious. Reads like a dave chappelle skit. He goes from a gay fashion school to wowing a div II university with his cross over's and jump shots. They have NO CHOICE but to grant him a full ride scholarship after he showed up at a random scrimmage on a sunday. He rolled into campus like the high plains ****ing drifter. But then he proceeds to average 1.5 points per game "because of an injury". He was on his way.

Sage Steele criticized SAS for being unprofessional and said he was better than that. She didn't even mention Whit.

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

SAS and Whit both suck in my eyes, but Whit just seems to be one of the biggest POS I've ever seen. Hard to have any sympathy for a guy who's entire shtick is being a full time troll with clown shoes to boot.

This is black on black crime.

It would be nice if these two got serious about it and blew each other’s brains out

He might not get along with people but that don't making less of a sports writer. The guy has talent and weight in sports media. That is the truth.
