But, yeah, there’s a big dropoff from being associated with Ralph, Hunter and Bill than being linked to someone doing a bad Nat X impersonation. Q: What about Scoop? Based on the way you bitch-slapped him in the KC Star, you couldn’t have liked working with him. The compensation didn’t, the place in the batting order didn’t and the team started shopping for talent in remote locations. The column was already game tight, but the frequency, consistency and content all improved.
I quit doing radio and had more time to focus on my weekly ideas. I wasn’t real comfortable, but I figured I’d let things play out. Ralph and Hunter passed, Simmons got his own page, the editor who kicked me ideas (Jay Lovinger) got promoted and suddenly I was batting in a very different lineup, and the new manager had me hitting a lot lower in the order. That’s a great lineup, and I just wanted to be in the middle of that order somewhere. But when I started, it was an opportunity to write alongside Ralph Wiley, Hunter S.
I’ve always disagreed with about the value of my column. Q: Why’d you leave ? Did your feud with Scoop Jackson have anything to do with you leaving? What follows is a frighteningly candid Q&A with Whitlock (yup, that’s him) about Scoop, race, Mike Lupica, a Civil Rights movement and the iconic photo above. Oh, and he�s not a fan of Scoop Jackson. Surely you know Jason Whitlock played football at Ball State, Jeff George may be the most famous name in his cell phone, and he�s tight with Drew Bledsoe. You�ve read his pot-stirring columns on and in the Kansas City Star, and you�ve seen the overweight lova co-hosting PTI (where he has actually used lines like, �can�t trust a big butt and a smile�). You may have to select a menu option or click a button.What does it take to secure an interview with esteemed columnist Jason Whitlock? After repeatedly dodging our emails, he finally consented to a Q&A – but only after we threatened him with illicit photos of JW fluffing Jeff George before the quarterback tried out with the Raiders.
