Jason Whitlock’s big, fat ‘Explanation’ to air at 3 p.m. today

“The Explanation,” an interview with Jason Whitlock on his departure from his job as a columnist for The Kansas City Star, will air at 3 p.m. today, on both 610 Sports with drive-time radio host Nick Wright, and on Time Warner Cable’s Metro Sports.

Since the rotund raconteur’s extended vacation from the Star turned into a permanent one — i.e., since last Tuesday — Whitlock’s been teasing “The Explanation” via his Twitter page. 610’s Wright ultimately won the right to host today’s LeBronsian broadcast. “The list of his demands is great,” Wright tells The Pitch.
