SOBRIQUET OF THE DAY: JASON WHITLOCK

Jason Whitlock earns the Sobriquet of the Day in his column on Charlie Weis:

Too often, I waste column inches blasting Charlie Weis, Notre Dame and the lifetime contract awarded to an unproven blowhard. I never take the time to point out the good side of "Pear Bryant."

Clapping in three-hundred and sixty degrees, sir. Yes, he admits he got if from a reader, but it's still a fine bit of verbiage to be treasured and held aloft like a prize trout. As disrespectful as the nickname may be, consider that Whitlock at least does Weis the honor of spelling his name correctly, which doesn't always happen. It's W-e-i-s, and for fun you should IM your Notre Dame friends during the Navy game Saturday, where a good extra "s" on the end of it should send their already fragile psyches into a catatonic tailspin.

Dude looks like this and is making comments about another guy’s physical appearance?

Might be time to thank Whitlock for the rising cost of health care. And barbecue.

Ah. Sort of the “fat people as protected minority group” thing. Gotcha.

by domer.mq on Nov 12, 2008 2:43 PM EST reply actions  

So, right now, I am not fat, true or contrary to my name, but I now want to gain 46 lbs in three months, if for nothing else than to provide a nice sun shade for my junk when I’m all naked on the beach. Cause, apparently that is what you do at both ends of that spectrum.

Also, we’re well beyond “catatonic tailspin” and more in “peaceful acceptance” now. The extra S might not even register.

Who has Notre Dame friends? Besides other domers of course.

Anyone else sick of looking at the “lose 46 lbs in 3 months” naked fag? WTF??

What is everyone complaining about with these ads? Three of my five browsers have ad blockers on them, so I have no idea what everyone else is seeing.

“Pear Bryant”. Brilliant & wonderful. With his sidekick Little Throw Peep.

I just noticed that the weightloss dude appears to be naked.

That is not necessary.

Maybe LSU Freek can photoshop some pants on that dude.

Wies is holding the clip of that assault rifle. is he planning on joining the Liberian militia? This has nothing to do with CFB, but it’s really buggn me.

Whitlock is saying Weis “threw Haywood under the bus” by taking the playcalling over?
Haywood’s 24 yr old relative died and he’ll be in Houston all week this week for the funeral. He won’t even be around for gameplanning and developing the call sheet…

by Andy on Nov 12, 2008 3:43 PM EST reply actions  

If Weis lost 46 pounds in 3 months it would be like throwing a deck chair off of the Titanic.

Whitlock has given us the gift of ‘Pear Bryant’. Which reminds me. Charlie is in shape. Pear is a shape, in addition to a fruit.

Agreed. I use the flash block for Firefox, and that allows still images which I am okay with, but blocks all the annoying Flash on this site. And if you want to see one of them, you can just click on the icon where the Flash is.

Saddest part about the article, it was published on Monday night, before Weis had said whether or not he was taking over the play-calling. He could have inferred it, but it is really taking a cheap shot to say he threw Haywood under the bus before he even said what has happening or why.

Weisgipper, this is why so many people hate us.

‘Hate’ implies that we actually give a shit. But we do relish in your misfortune, yes.

Not Sorry for Weis Dept:

Weis is getting whacked around quite a lot lately, and not just by Whitlock, but by many ND fans….FINALLY…

…Finally, I am not reading the “It was Ty’s fault” garbage anymore…

This guy? Really? I mean, seriously? That’s like Washington telling Washington State that they suck.

Allow me to offer my own nickname: Jason “Holy Shit Suck-Ass Writer Cocksucker Who Hasn’t Had An Original Thought In His Fucking Miserable Life” Whitlock.

I feel better.

Charlie must be getting ready for the day that he plays Alabama and has to face their fans….

Bama fans need to stop killing people and LSU fans need to stop calling people. period

Does the naked 46lb-less guy that looks like a terrorist have anything to do with the article? You’ve got Tiny wielding an automatic and a guy I think may want to do some dirty terrorist deed. If Tiny wanted to take down or hijack a plane – would he have to buy 2 seats or maybe even 3 if he pony’d up for the guy that is 46 lbs less.

@21…I hope you mean 1991…if so—you epic loser. Man, did that ’91 game prove to everyone how badass ND is. Babies born during that game can go fight in Iraq in a month and half. Little did you know at the time that 2 years later ND won their last bowl game for the following 2 decades. #22 has it right and I feel bad for fans like him…you know, realistic ones.

I hope WeiSS wears Belichick’s SB rings in the presser announcing his “decision” to move on.

Whitlock is a racist POS. Period.

by PapaSmurf on Nov 12, 2008 8:51 PM EST reply actions  

What?! Jason Whitlock hates Charlie Weis? I don’t believe it. Maybe it is fat envy-it took Weis all of 6 games to get a contract that guarantees he will never run out of Big Macs. Whitlock, however, will have to spend years and years of writing and using other people’s jokes to make sure a Big Mac is in his grasp.

Even ND fans are fed up with Weis, but you have to admit, we all wish we could get paid like this guy did. Very slick.

AS @ #22…very insightful. I flew back to Orlando after that game in the seat behind Coach Holtth…he put a blanket over his head and feigned sleep for nearly the entire flight…I am sure it was because he was avoiding my barely restrained verbal abuse.

I think the scary thing for Domers is that the idea of losing to Navy is actually going to be a legitimate and sobering part of their pre-game conversation tomorrow. How wonderfully sad.
