Got an e-mail this morning that went like this…
I know Whitlock is your boy, so where do you stand on him getting dropped from ESPN and the reason given for the dismissal?
What are your thoughts on Scoop Jackson’s work?
Most of you know that I consider Jason Whitlock to be a friend and mentor. I also have a personal and professional relationships with Scoop.
So here’s a rule on stuff like this–if I haven’t talked to you about such things, chances are that there’s no need to ask. Because I won’t tell you anything. I’m not going to talk with just anyone about friends and colleagues. So if you’re not sure if I’d feel comfortable talking about something, then chances are I won’t be.
I’m exhausted. Back tomorrow.
Oh, and I’m doing a segment tomorrow wiht 96 Rock in Raleigh. I’ll let you know when I’ve got a time for it.
This seems like a reputable source, Tim:
Apparently, that’s the blog in which he said things that supposedly crossed the line. I thought JW was a good writer, and especially liked the piece that aired-out Notre Dame and the Charlie Weis contract extension. It is what it is. Best regards to him. I hope he goes on a diet ’cause personal health is something to worry about.
I had no clue about the JWhitlock thing… anyone have a reputable source for coverage?
If you have to tell anyone that you’re not going to gossip about friends and colleagues, then they’re probably too stupid to understand why anyway.
Gossip? Do these idiots think you do ESPN TV, or that you are angling for Rosie O’Donnell’s new gig?
