ESPN Book: Jason Whitlock Says ESPN Told Him He Needed to ‘Hip-Hop-Up’ His Delivery
Here’s our fifth and final installment of an excerpt from the ESPN Book (since it’s such a busy day, we’ll be posting our interview with the author this weekend). Remember ESPN’s Boo-Yah era? If you were reading this blog back in 2006 and 2007, then you may remember the era fondly. Mark Shapiro led the charge and Jason Whitlock … well, he was having no part of it. In the ESPN Book, Whitlock recalls a meeting he had with Shapiro and another corner office suit, Vince Doria.
I went to a meeting on the campus at Bristol with Mark Shapiro and Vince Doria, and afterward, Vince Doria told me in private – an these aren’t his exact words – that it was a great time to be like Stuart Scott and Stephen A. Smith, and the message seemed to be “You need to hip-hop-up your delivery on ESPN. It needs to be more rapperish” – or whatever.
By 2009, according to the New York Times, Whitlock had been proven right. For Stu Scott, the shtick worked. For Stephen A. Smith? Not so much. His career there fell apart – at one point, he was everywhere – and he was jettisoned in 2009. He returned in 2011.

so basically this is the gist of what was ACTUALLY said. Whitlock took the liberty to make the connection between Scott, Smith, and Whitlock. The executive could have meant a number of things, charismatic being one.

I’m imagining some white ESPN exec telling Whitlock in Eddie Murphys generic white guy voice to “Negro it up a bit”. Would like to hear the response.

You answered your own question. It’s because the majority of women are messed up/irrational. The very fact that you’re married conveys to them that you are desired by some other woman, and therefore, they should desire you as well. You’re the equivalent of the forbidden fruit, my friend.
May 20th, 2011 at 4:07 PM
It was both awkward and hilarious at the same time.

Yes but its always fun to see who had problems getting laid.
May 20th, 2011 at 4:15 PM
I friend the girls from HS so I can laugh that most of them have gotten fat, and uglier. For some reason they are not as hot as I remember them being in HS, and it delights me. Comeuppance and all that.
May 20th, 2011 at 4:17 PM
at least you’re rational about it. i’ve had two crazy ones that wanted to hook up in the same conversation when i told them i was getting married.
May 20th, 2011 at 4:18 PM
I find this is true as well. Strange.

lol. no, it was crazy. the one had marital problems of her own, she pings me on facebook on the rare occasions that i go on there and we’re chatting for a bit. i’m telling her that my gf and i are looking at apartments together, yada yada yada, she tells me she’s driving down to florida, by herself, to meet with family and she’d love if we could meet up. I’m like, sure, i’ll talk to my gf and we’ll set up a time. she’s like, no..just me and you..i can stay at your place for the night or i could stay in a hotel and you can come over?
the second one wanted me to come over when my then fiancee was in night school for a couple hours before she came home. i’m like, wtf?!?!
May 20th, 2011 at 4:28 PM
How is this strange? Isnt it pretty much universal that the hot chicks in high school tend to be not so hot years later?

Meh… She doesn’t have much of a leg to stand on. She called me out for not knowing what the hell I was talking about (admittedly sarcastically); then Wilhreems swept in with an example that fit my theory perfectly. She can rapture at me all she wants. No hard feelings.

Theres not much of a story.
Basically I was dating this chick, and then my ex and I hooked back up, and my ex knew I was with this other chick from FB, then messaged her asking if she knew we hung out and banged.
I was dumb, learned my lesson, which is be more careful lol.
May 20th, 2011 at 4:45 PM
i don’t find the fact she has issues strange, just the weird issue as it is: dating all the guys who wanted to date her in HS but she turned down.

I have a FB but haven’t been on it in months. My feeling is that if someone wants to be in contact with you, they’ll get in contact with you via phone or e-mail. FB has turned into a big “look at me now” type deal as opposed to a networking thing. Happened to MySpace, and happening to FB right now.

You can’t. This is where the asshole part comes in. It’s a weakness to most. Women love to be wanted. When you can play with their heads and make them think you don’t care, you can use THAT to your advantage.

In fact, if you lived here, I’d have the perfect girl to set you up with based on what I think I know.
I love when a female friend/acquintinance tries to set you up with one of her friends — its always the same description: “Shes gorgeous, super cool, awesome”. She very well could be all of those things, but no girl would ever call her friend ugly.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:12 PM
Well done, my man.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:13 PM
This is also true. My advice will get you laid. SC’s advice will allow you to have a relationship and get laid. You need both some times.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:13 PM
This didn’t come out like I intended it.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:13 PM
Dude, just be yourself. Women see through facades just like men do. You can’t keep up an act your whole life.
In fact, if you lived here, I’d have the perfect girl to set you up with based on what I think I know.
Thanks for the tip.

yeah, then you find out she’s 6’2″ and a deuce.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:14 PM
Love to be wanted by a guy they actually like. The guy friend they’re not attracted to? Not so much.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:14 PM
I’ve been set up by female friends twice. One was a stage five clinger that I was not informed was a virgin prior to (don’t worry, I got out before anything happened). The other was worked out for a summer.
It can go both ways. Depends on who your friend is.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:15 PM
ATL Badger,
How old r u?
I’m 62 years young. Why?
May 20th, 2011 at 5:16 PM
Excellent.

Tread carefully with SC’s advice. Always remember he wants to dump his girlfriend because her tits are “too small” even though he himself is gangly and hairy.

I am usually Team Coke but Wild Cherry Pepsi Savage elbow drops Cherry Coke every time.

May 20th, 2011 at 5:17 PM
Yeah. You absolutely need a picture before you agree to anything. And she should be given the same courtesy. Fuck that blind date nonsense.

They don’t love to be wanted… perhaps you’re right there. But I think they like the attention, no matter who it’s coming from (with exceptions from creepos/stalkers). It’s a compliment. I take it as one anyway if some girl I’m not into is into me.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:17 PM
Dude aint no 62 right?
May 20th, 2011 at 5:17 PM
are you people really forgetting about Cherry 7-up? or is it in a category all it’s own?

Women love attention no matter where its from.
Now that doesnt mean they wanna get in bed with anyone giving them the attention, but they love it nonetheless.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:19 PM
Fuck that blind date nonsense.
That’s just something that I would just never consider. Especially this day in age.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:19 PM
and make sure she’s the only one in the picture, with something to give it scale. otherwise, your eye will find what you like and not her, and if there’s no scale you’ll have no idea if she could bench press you.

You should change your name to sherlock. Would suit you well.

I hae a female coworker set me up on a date with her friend.
Said she was real cute and fun, and that we were a great match.
Well, she was fucking huge and smelly. WTF! I never let her live that down.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:20 PM
And to be fair, the same can be said for guys.
I never met attention I didn’t like.

Who are you and where does your kind come from? Please tell me you’re not from Milwaukee.

This is a great point, — Cherry 7up is life changing. I like how they started marketing it that it had antioxidants. Because we all know drinking Cherry 7up makes you healthier.

Agree 100%. Like I said in my answer, I take attention as a compliment.

Answer? I guess I’m taking a test now.
May 20th, 2011 at 5:22 PM
Yeah, the category of “Not Cherry Coke or Wild Cherry Pepsi”
May 20th, 2011 at 5:22 PM
But women crave attention more than men.
Hell, we all would take some attention our way, but women seem to NEED it.

Funny…I remember going to see Dave Atell and one of the warm up acts was an unknown female standup who was pretty funny. One of her jokes was about how at work if she finds a guy annoying or unattractive and he says something off-color, she is ready to call human resources on his ass. But if its a guy she has a crush on he can practically rub his balls on her face during an office meeting and she’d just giggle her way through the whole thing and thoroughly enjoy it.
Context, people…which is why I find most generalizations coming out of the mouths of forever aloner types. They have to make up for the lack of experience and real world interactions through armchair psychobabble.

Obviously there’s context for everything. But I find it humorous that you spend a paragraph bashing people making generalizations and then go and make a complete generalization yourself.
May 20th, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Note to self: 2 sentences make a paragraph. And attaching symptom of a personality type to that personality type is not a generalization, i.e. someone who thinks jews are cheap is probably anti-semitic. I did not say that men or women or blacks, etc., tend to be over-generalizing forever aloners.
