Whitlock & Mariotti: Jason Whitlock’s starting a podcast, and a source at Fox Spots Radio tells me that the first guest will be Jay Mariotti, the unemployed former journalist who hasn’t said much since getting fired from ESPN and Fanhouse following his August arrest (6 of the 7 chargers were later dropped). A source at Fox Spots Radio claims the pair was taping the podcast Sunday in Los Angeles (but wasn’t in the studio and didn’t hear taping). It’s an interesting choice for Mariotti, seeing as how badly Whitlock has battered him in the past (though he kind of defended him here). Whitlock, who has been extra angry of late – taking shots in recent weeks at Hall of Fame voters, this site, and sparring with numerous others on twitter – didn’t return an email about the podcast.
