Michael Wilbon, sports commentator for ESPN could be great. Right now, he’s just mediocre. Yet he has the potential to be great. One of his good friends is Charles Barkley, a man grounded in common sense, patriotism, understanding of the big picture, and grateful for the many opportunities that have been given to him. That one fact, in and of itself, should be enough to catapult Wilbon into greatness.
Wilbon’s mother was a school teacher. Again, this should be an advantage in this country. Having a well-educated parent helps the child to be well on his way to the next tier of society. Another brick in the wall of greatness.
The man from Chicago, Illinois graduated from one of the premier colleges in the country, Northwestern. Another brick.
He wrote for the Washington Post beginning in 1980 and graduated to television in 2001 when he became a sports analyst on ESPN and ABC, juggling three jobs. Eventually, he went to full-time work on television. Another brick.
Finally, he has co-hosted his own show, Pardon the Interruption, with Tony Kornheiser. Another Brick.
Read on the next page about how this man who should be great has just proven why he is merely mediocre, as he calls Jerry Jones of the Cowboys a SLAVE OWNER!
Hey dumb$#%&!@* since when did slaves get paid millions per year?
WHO FKN CARES WHAT ANYBODY FROM ESPN…CNN…OR MSNBC SAYS OR DOES…..LEADERS IN F**E NEWS AND SHITTY JOURNALISM!!!!
Hey$#%&!@* Go pick Cotton !! …. You did NOT pick enough cotton !!!!
YOU’RE FIRED !!!!
More whining. He’s done pretty well as a black man, and by the way, they aren’t forced to play,are they?!
Just dumb
He is right about one thing Jerry Jones is the owner of the Cowboys, and if I am not mistaken he can do what the hell he ants to HIS team. It none of anybody else’s concern.
Then just walk away! Oh wait, he’s paying out millions!
They’re PAID stupid!
Yeah, I want to be a slave that sits on the bench and still gets paid a million.
ESPN should power wash all their commentators out. Find some folks who want to talk sports and not politics.
