Wow I can't believe I just read this...

    Jason Whitlock= WOAT. This is the first column I have read from him that he hasn't pulled the race card (yet, he made fun of linemen in a football locker room and had to say he wasnt being racist). Hes a total douche and he makes what Skip Bayless says look like child's play.

    Oh DAMN! Not the return on Jason Whitlock! The same dude who defended Dom Imus and blasted the Rutgers women instead.

    When he (Whitlock) guest hosts the Jim Rome show is about the only time I don't listen to it.

    He just proved with this article what a moron he is.

    I actually don't even think it's that bad of an article.

    I was in the Cavs locker room last year, and even if you're not looking, it still appears in your peripherals.

    Now, I wouldn't say I was affected by anywhere close to the extremes he discussed, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience.

    I really cannot believe he wrote an article on this subject... I'm both flustered and amused by this article. I'm kinda in disbelief of what I just read. lol

    I'd say that, from reading the article, those extremes were satirical. Overall, it looks like a quick column poking fun at a bizarre news story, so the dude could have an easy day. Not a great column or anything, but not the worst I've read.

    As for Whitlock, I don't read a great deal of his stuff, but usually like his work when I do. When it comes to the more controversial stuff (like race), I tend to get the feeling he puts thought into what he's trying to say, instead of spewing out a kneejerk reaction.

    As for the topic, it reminds me of a story my best friend told me a few years back. While in his 20s, he bounced from job to job in the Columbus area (usually sales and restaurants). At one of them, he was working with a former Buckeye lineman who had a cup of coffee in the NFL (can't remember the name) and would tell stories about that experience. One of them kinda touched on the "locker room pecker" thing and essentially said that (a) some dude on his team was a monster who pretty much flaunted what he had and (b) female reporter Leslie Visser was known as someone who'd openly stare below the waist. There might have been more to the story, but those are the only two points I remember.

    I mean if I was a chick, or a dude who was into dicks, I would try my hardest to get into a locker room.

    Not to play the race card here, but just from the Bucks locker room after the Rose Bowl the majority of the white players had their towels on while some of the black ones didn't. There was this one female reporter who didn't do much recording of notes or video from what I remember, because as we walked out I was joking about it to Tony Jackson.

    I've posted this before but I played football with a guy in high school who would make a horse blush. He would be the first in the shower and would continue to walk around buck-naked for half an hour with his towel draped over his neck while everyone else was dressed, combing their hair and on their way out of the door. I should mention, he was white. He was one of those tall, skinny guys. The brothers on the team used to laugh and ask if he was sure he was white.

    That being said, Whitlock's article reminds me of the movie Anger Managment with Adam Sandler. There was the scene where he is in bathroom with his girlfriend's ex. Sandler accidentally gets a glimpse of the guy's package and is horrified. The ex looks at him and nods to say "oh yeah".
