Let's Hear It For Jason Whitlock
Oct 25, 2006 | 7:25PM | report this

I alluded to it in my posts two days ago and Jason Whitlock has the gumption to actually call out other sports writers by name.  I for one want to applaud Jason Whitlock for telling it like it is.  I found his article to be truthful, relevant, and the best to date on the Kenny Rogers story. 

Basically, Whitlock asserts that Mitch Albom, author of Tuesday's With Morrie, gave Rogers a free pass for cheating while crucifying Bonds.  I have to agree with him and go a step further and say that most sports writers also threw the spear in Bonds while still on the cross.  I know what you are thinking; Barry is not Jesus, but I would make the case that the "media" much like the crowds of Jesus day can be heard chanting, "Crucify him!" 

Let's hope his employers do not black ball him or try to fire him the way Steve Lyons was fired by Fox.  It takes a lot of courage to stand up to the main stream media, especially someone as revered as Mitch Albom.  I for one will read ever more of Jason Whitlock because of his audacity to stand up to the industry.  I have watched the Sports Reporter's on Sundays on ESPN for many years and I always find what most of them say is pure hogwash, but Whitlock is always a breath of fresh air.  Keep it up Jason.
