Jason Whitlock says MU bball has a low BBall IQ

[LON]

Whitlock has entertaining columns about sports figures personal lives, but when it comes to, ya know, actually knowing sports - he is an idiot.  He likes to rile people up, and likes to be the contrarian.  When everyone was saying, wow, Marquette is tough because they play hard and won three straight OT games (see: mental toughness), Whitlock goes the other way and says they must be terrible because they can't put teams away.  That's all it is.  I set the o/u on Marquette games he actually watched at 1.5.

I'd take the under.

Do not, for even one second, think that this blob has anything to add to the plethora of "analysis" that's out there this week.


EDIT: grammar

It's obvious that Whitlock's primary intention is to stir the pot, get attention, make waves, and annoy people.  He does this on purpose; it's his shtick.  I  respect good writing, but consider this guy's stuff a waste of time.  His occasional piece that might seem to raise his stock is buried under a pile of others that only support the fact that he aims to write for effect, period.  He lobs grenades, adding little of anything of value.

Since we brought up Whitlock ....

October 13, 2009 Whitlock writes a diatribe about Rush Limbaugh begging Roger Goodell to keep him from buying the St. Rams.

Whitlock caught using made up quotes about Limbaugh being a racist ... including one quote that allegedly says Limbaugh praised MLK's assassin James Earl Ray.

Whitlock at first refused to apologize.  Even though he admits he made up the racist quotes, or used inaccurate sources on the internet, he believes he is correct that Limbaugh is a racist and it really doesn't matter, the "concept" of his article is correct.

Eight days later Whitlock is forced to apologize.

I'm not trying to Limbaugh into this discussion, rather point out that Whitlock is lazy.  Their is no thought in his articles.  He figures out the most controversial thing to say and than says it.  When he has to, he makes up stuff to support his position.

So, MU was called a low IQ team from a professional liar.  And you wonder why newspapers are going out of business.

I have not watched a lot of MU games this season but as far as I am concerned, If a team is winning a lot of close games it is because they are a "smart" and "resilient" bunch...   the total opposite of my Hoosiers...   

Living here in central IN I get the pleasure of listening to this azzhole Jabba Whitlock a lot locally.  He is a total idiot....   just a big, bitter, clown.

I pay zero attention to what he has to write or say.

Obtaining a degree from Marquette is not the purview  of puzzlewits

Note to whitlock : this means one must possess more intelligence than you to be able to graduate from MU

Whitlock = Douchebag.
