Sure, the headline could apply to our miracle come-from-behind-oh-my-God-does-John-Elsmith-suck-at-coaching-look-at-him-cry! win at MSU, but actually, there’s bigger news this week…
Huge news, in fact. Every week, it seems more and more likely that I can once again watch ESPN without going into some spastic fit induced by moron talking-heads, the overkill of onomatopoeia in play-by-play, and columnists with less actual sports knowledge than my dog posing as “sports journalists.”
Jason Whitlock has been fired from ESPN. ALL of ESPN.
I’d link to the story that explains what happened, but the one I found is by the Majority Share-Holder of Hostess himself, and I don’t wish to give him a link, so feel free to google it if you don’t believe me.

I have to give some credit to Whitlock for trashing “Playmakers” and Scoop Jackson on his way out.
True, but Whitlock’s really only recognizing another disease within ESPN as he’s being purged. ESPN still has a long way to go, but one “ectomy” at a time, and the Whitlockectomy is a big one. It’s like the removal of that massive, benign tumor in the belly of ESPN that just embarasses and irritates and gets larger every day.
Now, if you tell me they get rid of Stephen A Smith and Scoop, I’ll start believing in Santa Claus again.
I’d love to see Todd Blackledge go… I’ve been watching him on SEC games on CBS for years… that dude is a douche.
That’s what I say…
Ooo! Ooo! I’ll play. There are so many media idiots who I’d love to see get the axe. I’ll start with the following:
1. Joe Buck
2. Joe Morgan
3. Tim McCarver
Wait, does this have to be about football?
No. It doesn’t have to be about football, however you’ve given me the idea for a “hit list”. Maybe we should tack it to the top of the menu on the right. Whitlock’s name would be crossed off with red ink/lipstick.
Is this like “The Contest” from freshman year? If so, you’re sick. I’m also going to start charging for my ideas. Cough. MESSAGE BOARD.
