Dan Le Batard Reacts to Stephen A. Smith's Now Public Feud with Jason Whitlock | Dan Le Batard Show

[@mrknucklehead5882]

People are giving Stephen A Smith too much credit. He promised a beatdown that never came. All he did was say how mad he was at Whitlock, and that Whitlock is disliked by others. We already knew that. Thought he was gonna drop some facts, or at least defend against the accusations, but he did neither.

Im not a Whitlock fan, I only watched his show to see what this was about. My take is SAS did himself a disservice, because he proved Whitlocks point.

SAS just called him names...

[@sc239]

@@InnovativeWorship Maybe we watched different shows? SAS name dropped a ton of people that hate Whitlock, he dragged Whitlocks character thru the mud.. But he didnt address ANY of what Whitlock said about his college playing days. Maybe i missed it, but who confirmed ANY of what SAS said about his College Basketball career? 17 3 pointers in a row in a game is almost DOUBLE the NBA record, the NCAA record is 10. Practice run or not, thats comical. "I never did it before, i never did it again" doesnt cut it. You not fluking that. Thats the plot of a 90s Disney kids movie. I never heard any NBA player talk about they hit 17 3s in a row in AAU basketball. Its like casually saying you ran 100 metres faster than Usian Bolt or swam it faster than Mike Phelps. Its the type of lie that shows he NEVER played ball, or else he would at least be able to lie believably. 6-7 in a row is IMPRESSIVE. Its like saying you threw a 200 mph fastball. Or threw a 99 yard pass. Or shot 5 hole in ones in a single round. Or throwing 5 9 darters in a row.. You over cook one lie, it exposes the rest of the lies. Im no Whitlock fan, but he took examples from SAS book and researched them.. And presented evidence of why its CAP. And challenged SAS to do the same as a journalist. SAS couldnt, and proved he isnt a journalist. His response was " Fat Bas...d, peice of sh.t, no one like you, heres a list of people that dont like you. No one will be at your funeral. Fat people smell." Bro couldve just picked up a ball and hit a couple 3s and showed us that 17-0 form. Give SAS 10 shots at college 3.. under/over at 3 im taking the under, unless we talking airballs and i might take the over. Whitlock smoked SAS and dint even have to resort to mentioning his hairline once.

Growing up in KC, that period when we had both Whitlock and Posnanski. I was as big of a journalism fan as I was a sports fan, so it was just this perfect time. Whitlock mentioning Mike Royko just solidified my respect for him. So when KC finally got a sports talk radio station, I was pretty excited for Whitlock's show. I tried a couple of times, but it was such a toxic horrible mess, that I just noped out after giving it too many chances. And nothing I've seen of Whitlock live ever since has changed that opinion. He was still good in the paper, but I just avoided his other ventures. Eventually, I just had to stop reading him, too, because his radio and TV persona was creating a writer that no longer thought he needed an editior. Honestly, living in St. Louis now, we went through a similar deal with Bernie Miklasz. His radio stuff wasn't so bad, but it made him believe he didn't need the paper anymore. Sure enough, his blog "columns" turned into a bunch of stupid rants that never added up. After leaving the paper, even his radio stuff got worse, where he spent hours arguing with imaginary dumb people, doing the worst strawman argument bits I've ever heard in sports. All of that has made me really respect those who can go on their own effectively all that more.

Why would SAS lie about this? This is public record; essentially just look at a yearbook from the school and I see him in a WSSU jersey as a member of the team. 2. SAS is a plant who can't write. If this was the case, especially the 'can't write part,' why is Whitlock asking him to be part of the Undefeated writing team (as indicated by the article written by Deadspin)? Why in said attempt at this, Whitlock sending SAS an lengthy email apologizing to SAS? It tells me that Whitlock has sour grapes towards SAS. It's clear and it's lame. Whitlock has ALWAYS been messy and comes off looking hella jealous (see his Deion critique where he's asking Brett Favre's opinion on him, or his 'threat' towards Shannon Sharpe when he left Undisputed). He's a true race-baiter. He's been that for over 20 years it seems.

If you haven't seen Whitlocks latest video on it, watch it. SAS is roleplaying as an athlete. He has lied so much he can't keep his story straight. Why is there no record of his alleged bff ever attending the school? D2 doesn't give out many full rides. Let alone to someone only playing 9 games. But SAS says he played in one an NBA Pre game show? Then on his podcast he says he played in no games? Why does the official stats for that season say he played in 9? Look at the video at his alma mater with his old teammates. Those dudes are all 10-20 years younger than Stephan A. This is the work of Hollywood. Probably paid the real Stephan Smith not to say anything so he could have more credibility. He is a failed actor, turned journalist. He is an industry plant. He's never written one article worth reading. Never had a real debate. He's a grown property by ESPN. He never addressed anything Whitlock said.

If people know to ignore SAS on serious subjects, then the character he plays is sometimes entertaining. And his podcast is good when SAS speaks at room levels. Whitlock challenged his aspirations to be a spokesperson for real topics. And that's a fair challenge because SAS doesn't hold up there.

I'm from KC back when Whitlock was a columnist, and later a radio host. He literally burned every single bridge at every single media company. In every case, it was on him. He fueded with a lot of local media people. About 15 years ago, Whitlock and Nick Wright got into it on KC radio. TL;DR: Jason Whitlock was a legendary asshat well before this.

[@RobertLegereIII]

This cannot possibly be true. EVERY CASE, it was on him? Come on now.

@RobertLegereIII I'm telling you man, he showed up late for his own morning show so often that he got fired. Then immediately went to the competition and began railing his former employer. He has some undiagnosed/untreated mental health and emotional issues, sorry to say. I always liked him as a writer, but his talent proved not to be a reason to excuse his behavior at every stop he's been. He's not really known for one particular job -- because he couldn't keep one, he's just known for being Jason Whitlock and burning bridges. 🤷
