The Reason? Speaking out of turn in a meeting he didn't attend. Jesus.

What church do I go to to pray this means Whitlock can go back to Fox Sports and restart his Real Talk podcast? Please let him go back to Fox Sports Chruch's Chicken

The articles on Whitlock are amazing. I don't read or even particularly care about hot takes and sports journalism, but enjoyed it simply because he's painted as this tragic figure that is given his dream job and turns it into his own nightmare. There's also a bit of schadenfreud since he's made out to be a self important rear end and there's ample evidence to back that up.

I had not followed this story at all, and this piece was fascinating. I can't stop laughing at the idea that Whitlock was so upset by the first article that he broke down and started binge watching 9/11 truther videos.

Of course, his source is probably easier to find and more hosed than usual.

It could gently caress his source, and it could gently caress people who aren't his source (maybe the wrong person gets blamed). I don't see the picture accomplishing anything a paraphrase wouldn't have. It seems to be just a dangerous way to break nonessential news.

NC-17 posted:But what if it was like some janitor who happened to snatch a photo with his phone when someone's back was turned? They can't account every scenario can they? It might not even have been a hospital employee. Like Swickles said earlier, it is a photo of the scheduling board or whatever the gently caress you call it. At the hospital I worked at all that information was on a tv screen in the emergency room, which is visible to anyone who is admitted in the ER. It isn't that much of a stretch to imagine an admitted patient took the chance to snap a photo of it. Probably an employee though. Edit I don't know if that will make a difference for a HIPAA lawsuit though.

It would be pretty rad if PFTCommenter ended up on ESPN. I don't know, bring back Page 2 or something. Give him Colin Cowherd's old timeslot.

Real quote from a talking head like Bayless, Stephen A Smith, Cowherd OR a PFTCommentor quote.
