The Colts Offense has the white stuff

[FirstTimer]

For instance, he called Serena Williams out for not being in shape (look at yourself, you fat slob) and having too much "junk in the trunk."

I think the point of that column was not that she was fat..moreso thatshe didn't work hard enough and while she has the ability to perhaps be the best player ever but she lacks the motivation and too often show sup out of shape. Yeah Whitlock is fat but it doesn't make his critique of Serena any less valid IMO.

Another thing that bothers me is that he'll occasionally borrow from the Stu Scott School of Slang to give him some sort of hip factor, when really he's not street in anyway (sorta like Stu). Fucker played OL at Ball State, Dave Letterman's alma mater...that ain't gangsta.

Not sure how much you know about the Indiana in general but it's not all Hoosiers and Larry Bird.

Gary Indiana is a run down ghetto hell hole. Indianapolis(where Whitlock is from) has everything major cities haves, including gang violence projects etc.

I see the generalization you are trying to make but it doesn't exactly fit.

Stu Scott's shit is lame as hell and while Whitlock does it occasionally it's no where near as frequent or annoying as Stu's.

When Whitlock was first starting out at the KC Star, writing for espn.com and guesting on Sports Reporters, he was easily one of my favorite columnists. But he's become such a joke in the last 3-5 years.

I agree he comes off as bitter as all hell about the ESPN, and has played into the "I was fired for being too real" angle but for the msot part I ignore that shit and just concentrate on his main ideas and thesis' of his writings which I generally find to be very good.

True enough. Though I'd guess that he hasn't been anywhere near a ghetto hellhole since he started drawing 5 or 6 figures to write a column per week. According to his twitter, he's out in LA right now. Doubt he moved to Compton.

Yeah I hear ya but outside of Jim Brown what African American really ever connects with the inner city/gang life outside of an NFL/NBA Cares moment. Hell what rapper still has a place in the projects while rapping about them?

While he may no tbe connected with it now I think he dealt with it for enough years to understand the culture.

True. But a few months back he said that he heard drank was an epidemic at LSU through a "street theory", what the fuck does that even mean?

That just means unsubstantiated rumor to me.

More than likely former players or cops.

I don't think LSU players have a drank problem anymore than any other college which recruits players from the gulf south.

I mean look at Johnny Jolly. Does that mean aTm has a drank problem too? Here's the deal, I first heard J-Rock was addicted to codeine during his rookie year with Oakland, so when he got arrested this offseason it didn't surprise me in the least. There were probably others, but if it were that widespread of an epidemic I think I'd have heard about more than just J-Rock from my source (a kid who was frat bros with Russell's roommate).

More likely, Whitlock has an agenda against LSU because of all the "busts" (his words) that the Chiefs have drafted. He said the reason they all suck in the NFL is because of their drank habit, absent any proof that Bowe, Jackson or Dorsey have ever sipped drank. (Bowe wouldn't surprise me based on the few times I've met him or been near him, but the other two would.)

That's as irresponsible as it gets for a journalist, but he gets to hide behind his "street theory" and call it "real", when in actuality it's borderline libelous.

WTF is with the multiple incorrect "drank" references??

LSU players might not have a drank problem, but obviously you do. You should stop sipping drank, for starters. Then you can focus more on overcoming your drank habit.

They never leave the film room either. Did you know that they are the first to arrive at the practice facility, and the last to leave?

Yup some real gym rats there. It also helps to have a head coach that is such a class act.

Purple Drank, or Drank = widely accepted term for liquid codeine, aka sizzurp, or drank. I do realize upon re-reading my latest rant that it was pretty heavy on the use of the word drank. But I was not heavily using drank itself. Though I did go to LSU, which means I probably do sip too much drank.

Now drank, er, I mean thank, my post.

Between those 3 and JaMarcus that's 50%.

Does 50% constitute a problem?

anyone remember what that movie was where one of lines in it was something like this...



"winning back to back Super bowls with an all white team is quite impressive sir"


the dialogue was close to something like that but I cant think of the movie..?
