Shut Up, Wilbon

[Deleted]

Ok, I've just about had enough of this tool. Yeah, he's got some love for the Hoyas, but his complete and utter _____ness has finally turned me off to his columns, PTI, NBA on ESPN, or whatever else he may be on.

I've had enough of him shoving the Williams sisters down our throats. I've had enough of him playing David Stern's lackey trying to force WNBA stories down our throats. I've had enough of him (and he did this the other day) comparing the likes of Candace Parker to Magic freakin' Johnson. I'm sick and tired of him talking about the Sex and the City movie, telling guys like JA Adandae they should spend more time watching crap like that and less time covering UFC or other things he deems "worthy." I've had enough of him trying to convince us Danica Patrick is an athlete worth caring about. I'm sick of him forcing comparisons of people like Annika Sorenstam to Sandy Koufax. Justine Hennin retired? WHO CARES!!! Most people I know had never heard of her until she apparently retired "far too early."

Enough, Wilbon. We get it. You're a "journalist." Cover sports people care about.

So you don't think that Wilbon should ever mention women?

Wilbon is a Samuel L Jackson "fake tough guy"--and I'd love to kick his ass back to Chicago. Any man who talks up "Sex and the City" and says you should see it--is officially NOT a MAN. That revokes any right he has to stand when he pees. He's done--and he is now known as MITCH--which ironically is what I call Sara Jessica Parker--as she/he resembles the actor who played Mitch in the 1980's film Real Genius. I'm still convinced this "she/he" is really Jessica-Parker in drag.

Sex and the City is not even an option as a date film for any guy with balls. If your woman wants to see it tell her to go with her friends.

When it pertains to the WNBA, LPGA, women's tennis (which, let's face it, most people "follow" because of the good looking ladies) and his obsession with Danica Patrick, yes.

I could have added his need to constantly beat us over the head with the fact he never watched Seinfeld, his alleged desire to "smack" people or "shut them up," his continued slobbing of his BFF Charles Barkley's knob...

EDIT: Agree on Sex and City, MCI. First of all, any WOMAN worth keeping around isn't going to even bother asking you to take her, she'll know going with her girlfriends is a much better idea.

Second, if you're among that 10% of ticketbuyers who is a guy, and you consider yourself straight... well, this is a family forum so let's just say you better be getting some R-rated treats for the next several months as a reward.

Wilbon wanting to "smack" people is hilarious---that d-bag would get his face smashed to a point his boy-man friend Kornheiser would have to call the Sex and the City fanclub to save him.

Nobody should talk about the WNBA--and speaking of that circus--what is being accomplished with those ads where the players say everything that 85% of Americans (men and women) think about their league? I hear Candace Parker say "I'm not as good as a guy" and I nod in agreement and laugh. I don't say "No--Candace--you are better then a guy--yeah---let's go take my niece and nephew to watch slow/unathletic women miss layups with a smaller ball and same size hoop". Awful marketing. What they should do is show a picture of David Stern and say "Thank You for keeping our non profit making league afloat--sincerely the Players of the WNBA". That would be more realistic and make sense.
