Jason Whitlock is a nomad
According to The Big Lead (original scoop from Nation Of Islam Sportsblog) Kansas City’s own Jason Whitlock is once again on the move. His new home? Fox Sports.
Moving isn’t the only thing that’s becoming almost ritualistic for Whitlock, as the move is apparently related to yet another problem he had with a colleague’s material. One has to wonder at this point: Can Jason get along with anybody (besides Playboy Bunnies)? How sensitive is this guy? Or is beefing just his business? How many sites can he quit before sites will quit hiring him?
Again, I like Big Sexy/Jabba The Whitlock, but sometimes the guy just seems to ruffle the entire World’s feathers. The silver linings here are that I probably prefer Fox Sports to AOL; and Jason’s role with The Kansas City Star hasn’t changed, which means he’ll still cover our Chiefs. Hopefully, Fox will work out better for Jason than either ESPN or AOL.
Eventually everyone will get their fill of Whitlock and he'll be able to devote all of his time to <strike>blindly trashing Carl Peterson</strike> writing for the Star.

I guess that — like the Jacksons (Scoop and Jesse) and everyone else not name Hunter S. Thompson, Bill Simmons or Ralph Wiley — we're beneath him.
