Whitlock Goes After ESPN’s Mike & Mike
ESPN, Jason Whitlock, Media Gossip/Musings January 25th. 2008, 11:20am
At the risk of overkill on the Mike & Mike roast – when’s the next time we’ll see an ESPN roast? Quarter to never? – Jason Whitlock has peeled himself away from the Wire long enough to chime in on Bristol’s morning tandem. The man has a thing about taking down ESPN personalities, and this one’s just as good. Man, we can’t wait until Whitlock discovers Stephen A. Smith’s blog (which we’ll be posting on later)!
The second-best thing about Jacobson’s rant is that it drew attention to the lame Mike and Mike roast. ESPN desperately wants you to believe Greenberg and Golic are big stars. They’re not. If they were, they wouldn’t have an F-list celebrity/assclown like Jacobson roasting them. The next time Greenberg or Golic say something insightful or provocative will be the first time.
Props to Fox for letting the word “assclown” see the light of day.

if he would have exchanged celebrity for no-talent, it’d be the best whitlock statement ever.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:22 am
The next time Whitlock says something insightful will be a miracle.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Mike & Mike will show him.
They’ll nominate him for the “Just Shut Up” award. Oooooohhhhhhh….

Nice to see assclown used in a non-TBL forum.
I haven’t read the article yet. How is hip-hop culture associated with this?
January 25th, 2008 at 11:23 am
As an assclown I find this statement completely out of line and will immediately call my local assclown affiliate to protest this writer.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:25 am
I can’t believe this is his favorite Wire scene:
January 25th, 2008 at 11:25 am
“You drop a woman in ESPN’s locker-room environment and “surprisingly” she acts just like Sean Salisbury and everyone else. Personally I like Salisbury.” Whitlock
Huh? As usual, he is trying to have it both ways.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:26 am
At least he didn’t blame hip-hop for Jacobson getting shit faced and dropping the F Jesus statement. Although Sir Mix-a-Lot may be to blame for Dana’s enormous ass.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:27 am
If they let him call it an assman roast I’d be even more impressed.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeenie
January 25th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I think I agreed with like 2 of his top 10 moments of the Wire.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I think Simmons needs to be roasted next…I’d be interested in his reactions considering they don’t even let people comment on his columns
January 25th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Every day is a Simmons Roast on the internet – ESPN doesn’t even have to pay for the drinks.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Simmons wouldn’t even go to his own roast unless Tom Brady, Larry Bird and Carl Yastrzemski were there.
What would a Bill Simmons roast consist of? A bunch of people talking about Bucky Dent and M.L. Carr? That sounds like fun.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Good point…I’d move for Stu Scott then although the eye jokes might take their toll on him
January 25th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Anyone that actually likes Sean Salisbury is a moron. He was nails on a chalkboard when he used to frequent the Dan Patrick Show with Rob Dibble, and I just don’t understand how anyone can think he is insightful and well-spoken.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:38 am
hey, i don’t know if you guys noticed, but stephen a has a new online internet tubes blog post. but you need to register to comment. go forth, my children.

I like Whitlock even more for pointing out the obvious flaws in a fat man and a gay man (notthatthere’sanythingwrongwiththat) hosting a morning sports radio show.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:41 am
yeah, whitlock! i love that fat black man.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:45 am
I love Jason Whitlock’s columns and I read him daily.

@kendynamo
Whitlock is black?!??
January 25th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Just to be clear, Golic is the fat one, but he’s not also gay?
January 25th, 2008 at 11:52 am
yes, yes, but… is she a no-talent assclown?
January 25th, 2008 at 11:52 am
@broseph
You may have a point. SEE: Comment 10
January 25th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Mike and Mike…One’s Fat…Both are Gay…simulcast weekday mornings on LOGO!

It was good to see Mike Greenberg’s Duel go down in flames,
January 25th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
jim, I believe that Duel was scheduled for only one week.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
pkiguy,
You know that if there were even any remote signs that the show would be a hit, they would have gone “Millionaire” with it and aired all season, four nights a week. You know, with this writer’s strike and all.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I’m extremely disappointed Whitlock did not include the opening scene of this season’s Wire in his top 10
January 25th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Whitlock was defending Emmitt Smith as insightful when he filled in for Rome a couple weeks (month?) ago. He said Steve Young was holding him down.
Fuck the heck?
January 25th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
@ jgp. I know. I am just still mad at Jim for copying my avatar. I have been scouring the interents this morning for a new one.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I said this on another forum: the Mike and Mike Roast likely raised a helluva lot of cash for the V Foundation.
So what the fuck’s the problem with the event?
Christ.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
My favorite Sean Salisbury story is the one about when he went to a strip club to meet a bunch of Vikings players who were already there. The club wouldn’t let him in because he didn’t have his ID so he told them to get a couple of Vikings players to vouche for him. The Viking players looked at him and said they’d never seen him before. Priceless.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Wow, Whitlock. Whitlock clearly is a Christian. I mean, otherwise, do you really care enough about this situation to have a bullet point about it? And you would call Dana, who really seems like a decent person, a F-list assclown? Bayless? Maybe. Jacobsen? Doesn’t really make sense, unless you’re a evangelical or were raised in a tight-knit family that puts Jesus Christ first and foremost in your life.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
To clarify, not that being a Christian is wrong. And certainly using the Lord’s name in vain, let alone vulgarly, is a sin. However, I don’t think Jesus would approve of retaliating by calling the sinner an “assclown.” So methinks that Whitlock is a loose-Christian, as opposed to a strict one. My terms.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Whitlock is calling someone an assclown?
January 25th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Could we make a deal with these religious groups? ESPN will fire Cowherd instead and everyone wins.
January 25th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Kind of ironic because it seems Whitlock’s only talent is insulting other similarly crappy “journalist”. Whitlock sucks, Mike and Mike suck, Scoop sucks, Simmons used to be entertaining now he sucks, Cowherd sucks.
Honestly, old media sports content is really gasping for air now and the death rattle should be forthcoming. Most of these guys can’t write and offer no interesting or unique perspective. Unwatchable, un-listenable, and unreadable. Thank God for the internet…it has saved sports.
January 25th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
the only big star on ESPN is Mark Schlereth. after all, he is on the Guiding Light.

You know nothing about sarcasm. The Emmitt Smith thing was a freaking joke.
January 25th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
What’s even more shocking is that just last week, Golic tried to get Whitlock on the Nutrisystem diet. So obviously he thought they were buddies….
January 25th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
The couch potato picture never gets old. As much as you want to hate on him, Whitlock pegs the G&G boys correctly. Still doesn’t make me want to watch the uncensored video of this abomination any less.
