Jason explains that comment among other things. He also gives an interesting perspective on writing for blogs versus writing for newspapers and how it’s important to keep blogs and mainstream media in check. http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/3217842/the_original_jason_whitlock.swf Continue reading Catching Up with Jason Whitlock
