Jason Whitlock’s ‘Explanation’ is a week old, and we’re all still dumber for it

The Explanation is a week old now, and has mostly unscrewed itself from the brains of Kansas City sports fans. Soon Jason Whitlock’s drive-time exit interview will blend in with his other exit interviews, wherein he always confuses speaking “truth to power” with speaking “a lot.”

Bloggers (like me) and navel-staring journalists (still me) will keep talking about the most salacious missiles launched during Whitlock’s scorched-newsroom campaign, mostly regarding editor Mike Fannin. And since bloggers interpreted Whitlock’s 5,000-watt bridge-burning escapade as the official start to hunting season, they’ll keep mining Fannin’s closet for irrelevant skeletons, somehow convinced that readers care about the editor-in-chief’s capacity for partying.
