Continue to rot? He just inked a deal with HBO breh

When it comes to sports, that's a definite step down...

Damn near everyone with cable either gets ESPN with the package or they pay for the "sports" package to get ESPN...

With Netflix, Redbox, and any other thing you want to name...is there any real reason to get HBO?

Also him not being able to write on grantland is huge...

I wonder if the grantland staff can have him do anything...podcast...interview...anything at all...

:whoo: Jason Whitlock is a c00n but this should be funny. Greg Howard does his own version of halfway c00ning at deadspin so I can't call it :manny:
He has his digs at PBF that irks me from time to time. like they dont have every douchebag on every gawker media site constantly shytting on him. Cmon now nikka. I like Howard, but yeah, hes questionable sometimes.

gawker overkill sit with athletes/people they don't like, especially Floyd. Just like you said they kill Floyd on everything from Jezebel to their car enthusiast site lol.

they always send Howard on the doldier missions they don't want to do. He's like a black attack dog. And his writing (to me) can be kinda :patrice:

About Whitlock, Greg Howard writes:

It’s easy to say now that Whitlock was destined to fail at The Undefeated, but that’s a harsh reading of events. Whitlock is an unsophisticated thinker on race who wrote his belief in black pathology into the The Undefeated’s DNA, and whose ideas about respectability politics bled into each piece he edited before he was tossed aside. His ideology was formed over 20 years of writing opinions on race that were largely inaccurate, but, more importantly, firmly aligned with the opinions of many whites. Though he’d alienated many blacks along the way, including talented ESPN colleagues, his readings of American history were agreeable to an enormous portion of ESPN’s audience. He was decidedly safe and unchallenging. Through this lens, Whitlock was, in theory at least, the perfect choice for to run the site.

:wow:

Lol that's one I was talking about. You ain't never lie. I hardly go on deadspin anymore because any breaking news is usually posted here first anyway. I hope Hogan beats them in court.
