Jason Whitlock giving CP Servers Some Love

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

Is he still living in clay travis's basement

Interdasting

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.

So that fat **** still lurks

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Not sure.

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.

His entire identity is taking the contrarian position on pretty much every issue.

He gave donations to SOC

Star has done nothing but gone downhill since Jason left. It's a shithole.

Sup, Jason?

RIP Greg Hall.

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

Woke cult programming on cable TV is a dime a dozen. That's why JW is special.

Nothing special about a self serving muckraker.

Guy is blowhard plain and simple. Sad really, he fashions himself a writer.

Next stop TMZ.

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.

It would be even worse if someone were to post a picture of him, wouldn't it?

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media...o1mfzcgmbk.jpg

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.

needs to be more of your type, these days! :thumb:

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.

Of course bigsexy still lurks, it's easy pickins. This place sometimes breaks news before anybody, or at the very least simultaneously.

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

JW watching too much porn?

Hahahhaha

JW still can’t get along with other people. How many jobs has he blown by his arrogance? Now he’s doing something that nobody pays attention to unless he says something about race.

Jwhit is awesome and too smart for some to comprehend.

He just professionally plays the role of Uncle Tom. It is a lot of things but "too smart" is not one of them.

I could give two shits about what that fat **** says about anything...

Jason has always been a quitter.

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.

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!

That Fannin guy stayed at the Star for another 10 or 15 years and became President. Recently retired IIRC

ummmm… ok i guess

2 things I learned today:

1. Jason Whitlock watches gay porn.
2. Srvy goes to strip clubs for affordable meals.

2024 is going to be awesome.

Pussy is the most expensive meal you will ever eat.

If you’re eating pussy at a strip club I hope you have a good supply of penicillin on hand.

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.

Was well known for some of the best steaks around DT used to smash them.

Was diamond Joe's the one like Northside in a residential area

I’m sure DT was going to the strip club because they had the best steak in town! :thumb:

What a terrible take.

Two things at once

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.

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 ****ing 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."

You play the role of Fat Albert.

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.

Yep Near Parvin Road and Chouteau Trwy.

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.

Sorry it upsets you. But expected from you.

That was a truckdrivers shithole Diamond Joes was a Gentlemans Club there is a difference :D

I don't think so because it's not working. He becomes more forgotten with every passing year. Hell I don't even know who employs him now. Is he one of those internet influencers?

Well that explains the gay porn ad…

Make Whitlock a mod

Uncle Tom?

Wow! Just.....wow. :shake:

Look at this racist fat ****, why don't you just call him a coon Mr. Duke

Nothing says racist like calling a black guy that you don't agree with politically an Uncle Tom.

I think it was that he finally burned through sports outlets willing to hire him and desperately needed a new lane. Enter the Redeemer.

It could have been a career move. You can't know what's in a person's heart in that way except from what you see out of them over the long term. I was just pointing out what I think Jason would say was a big part of it.

To Whitlock's credit, Bledsoe is gay. :)

I admire his savvy and success. No reason for me to hate on him.

lot of u dudes never got bussy and it shows

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.

Not even scho or BRC would brag about strip club steak

Not wrong

Damn BWW piling on.

Lots of opinions on here.

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

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.

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.

Jwhit if you read this, drop us a couple juicy tidbits…you know you’re holding something juicy…

Except Fat Albert is actually likable.
