Wednesday Morning Starting Five: The Ya Column Is Garbage Edition
Still the death continues in a couple of links below. We’ll obviously never shake it. Interviewing Howard SID Ed Hill today regarding Air McNair. Any football or questions relevant to Air’s life, shoot me an email. Finishing up a piece on Michael Jackson after this is posted.
I’m sure most of you read Whitlock’s he ain’t learn nothing from that wack Sean Taylor death column hit piece on McNair. Can a brotha have a funeral before you kick his casket down the steps? Anybody can write that trash. Seriously. He’s trying to stay relevant. Dude just
waits for someone to get into some BS and then slams them for it. Even in death. Nothing is off limits. That’s his hustle. Crap ain’t objective, is not informative, serves no purpose, definitely doesn’t help, exacerbates stereotypical thoughts of Black men by others, is lazy, lacks substance and it straight up sucked.
Fox trot, spam bot, words rot, corporate got, writer not, mouth slot, lip stick shot?
Go ahead, keep getting ya Becky on.
Ya column is garbage.

Since Fatlock wants to pin the “bad father” tag on McNair…I guess that means Michael Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Dr. J, Larry Bird, Karl Malone, Chipper Jones, etc……all bad fathers, right? Hell, shouldn’t child protection services have a file on every last one of these guys right now since they must be damn near abusive by Fatlock’s standards?? And clearly by looking at him, Whitlock is on a suicide mission is damn self, he should not be allowed to every procreate…well….nevermind…no woman will ever be THAT drunk.

Dude does just enough to make me wonder ya know? Juuuuuuuust enough. I liked the Jim Brown/ Tiger Woods article. Not so much on this one, his Derrick Thomas article or the Taylor piece either. I’d really like to talk to him to see how he ticks man. Forget ratings, hits, public outrage, etc. Whitlock writes what he thinks. I just refuse to believe dude can be this bad. It’s not possible…. is it?
I’m about to email dude and try to get a convo. I just gotta know.

ROFLMAO…that really is a classic Mizzo!! LOL
July 8th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
I’m not surprised. Jason is really becoming a joke.
July 8th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Miranda…….according to Jason at least half of everyone that’s married is a bad parent. Since there is a lot of cheating going on these days.
July 8th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
I’m going to pull a T3 and repost something I posted on SOMM:
For Jason Whitlock, who probably doesn’t even know a GUY named Jim, to tell Serena Williams that she’s fat is ridiculous.
Full Disclosure: I was once 4 bills. I am now 2 and 3 quarters. I fell in love with lifting, learned how to eat right, and took supplements to keep my body’s metabolism humming. And I don’t look at Serena and see fat. I see someone who is as devoted to the iron as i am. It’s comforting.
July 8th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Well from where I sit, Shitlock’s parents didnt do such a great job either. In fact, what can possible account for why Shitlock is such a gluttonous, judgemental heartless adult? Applying his standard, it has to be his upbringing.
July 8th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
You know I’m cool with him. I think that if you know him, you know he’s not a bad guy … He’s a good dude who cares about people. He has a unique perspective… one that sparks some head nodding, debate and dissension.
No one agrees with everything he says. I surely don’t, and tell him often enough. While I vibe with some of what he said about the McNair situation, I don’t think it was time for a McNair “you’re not a good father” piece or a column that calls his wife into question…
It’s more a time to make sense of what happened and who to truly blame for the tragedy … like I did over on TMCY. That said, he probably deserves some of the backlash he’s caught over this. And in a lot of ways your rant is warranted.
the last bit is hilarious, too. lol.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
“I think that if you know him, you know he’s not a bad guy”….Damon…..are you serious? I’m sorry but if Shitlock doesn’t apply that standard to any of the bullshit he writes, why the hell should anyone “know him” to KNOW he’s an asshole. He’s a ho….a big fat silverback looking HO. He’s about getting paid to bash black folks. That’s his modus operandi and I dont need to know his mama’s maiden name or his favorite foods (grease, butter and sugar) to KNOW him. He’s a trick and his stroll is on Bash-a-Brutha Boulevard. Case closed.
July 8th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Rep. Donna Edwards is right.
July 9th, 2009 at 12:07 am
damn miranda…his rights have been read…
July 9th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Planet eating Unicron is at it again.
This dude has the nerve to call Mcnair a bad parent??
If thats the case then so is JFK, Bush Sr., Bill Clinton….all these so called founding fathers who would creep off into the slave quarters and get them some of that late night black tail.
Whitlock big ass is always trying to get on a soap box knowing he too big for one. Need to sit his Popeyes 2 piece for 99 cent meal ass down.
Fu^K that fat whale……………his momma should have swallowed him.
And for that coon dissing Serena someone needs to cut a pack of bacon off that S.O.B. neck.

Miranda:
Tell us how you really feel.
July 9th, 2009 at 3:28 am
Miranda - ’nuff said. I really can’t add to that. Again, I’m white, but to see Whitlock’s craven grasping at respect, or airtime, or whatever the fuck he wants is just an insult to all the fine black people in the world. He is pathetic and his mortal soul will have to answer for it one day.
July 10th, 2009 at 12:16 am
grease, butter, and sugar. There it is. If i wasn’t happily married Miranda, I’d come lookin’ for you in the ATL
July 10th, 2009 at 12:34 am
Des. I. Will. Fight. You.
July 10th, 2009 at 4:00 am
miz, I challenge you to a duel
July 10th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Ok let’s all start with this…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRANDA!!!
July 10th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Happy Birthday, Miss M
No stress, no mess, low on grease, butter, and sugar.
July 10th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Happy Birthday Miranda!
July 10th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
I agree with him when he says McNair’s children (and wife, I might add), are victims. She’s doing God’s work by consoling those kids and drying their tears every night. But how can Whitlock say he doesn’t know the nature of McNair’s relationship and then blast him for being a bad father. Was Whitlock a witness to McNair being a father and ministering to his sons? No. Being a good husband and being a good father are two different things.
I remember something Roy Johnson wrote some time ago, “Anyone who thinks marriage is easy has never been married.” Whitlock (on the slim chance you’re reading this), you need to check yourself. God is the final judge. He doesn’t need your help.
July 10th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
“he should not be allowed to every procreate…well….nevermind…no woman will ever be THAT drunk.”
I don’t know, Miranda. Patron’s a dangerous thang!
July 10th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
BTW, at the risk of sounding completely out of the loop, I have no idea what “Get your Becky on” means. Turning 40 sucks! LOL

“That’s his modus operandi and I dont need to know his mama’s maiden name or his favorite foods (grease, butter and sugar) to KNOW him. He’s a trick and his stroll is on Bash-a-Brutha Boulevard. Case closed.”
Miranda, remind me to never get on your bad side. LOL
July 10th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Thanks you guys!!!
July 10th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Matthew….ok, so no woman will WILLINGLY be that drunk…she might be passed out though.
July 10th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Happy Birthday Miranda.
July 10th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
oh and Mizz….. an article will be coming soon.
July 10th, 2009 at 7:53 pm

I don’t take the “Big Sleasy” seriously because for the most part he writes and throws ‘red meat’ for his neo-conservative white supporters. And Serena is gorgeous ,who would have thought those two skinny, gawky, teenagers in 1994 would blossom into two of the world’s beautiful women. I would shove Shitlock a greasy, fat pork chop and tell him to STFU.
Happy belated Birthday Miranda
July 12th, 2009 at 1:21 am
Thanks again everyone! I did indeed have a happy birthday!
July 12th, 2009 at 1:36 am
Glad you did.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Sorry I missed your birthday, Miranda. Doesn’t appear I missed much else.
One love,
jason

Still can’t believe I defended you once.

Would someone mind telling me why Steve McNair’s BAC is newsworthy since he was not operating a vehicle or firearm at the time of his death?
July 21st, 2009 at 11:21 pm
TBR…its not.
