      Scoop Jackson Would Like To Get Real With You For A Minute

      Buried at the bottom of Page 2 today is a clarification from columnist Scoop Jackson, who caused a veritable shitstorm thanks to his B.J. Upton column, when he haphazardly implied that Upton's laziness was a reason for young African-Americans to look up to him. Not really what he meant, of course, but that's how many people interpreted it. Well, Rob King's email box must have been locked-up due to all the hate mail because poor Scoop had explain himself to the Page 2 audience. More »

      Scoop Jackson's Column Continues to Offend; Jason Whitlock Demands Swift Editorial Execution

      Scoop Jackson has once again sparked the ire of, oh, lots of people with this latest ESPN2 column about the Tampa Bay Rays' B.J. Upton. In it, Jackson praises Upton as the one MLB player who can "bring the game back to the hood" while using some undermining and preposterous logic to substantiate his point. More »

      Scoop Jackson And NOIS Meet

      Tim Hardway Does Not Have A Hate Boner

      Fascinating interview yesterday with the beautifully thighed Tim Hardaway and his "old pal" Scoop Jackson. Say what you will about Jackson, but this is one of those times when his friendliness with athletes works to his advantage; it's a wide-ranging, full-access interview that doesn't tip-toe around Hardaway, despite their friendship. And you almost have to admire Hardaway by the end of it; he might be a moron, but he's a gleefully unapologetic moron. More »

      Scoop Jackson, Multimedia Superstar

      In case you missed it last week, The Four Letter Word That Is ESPN announced the creation of a new reality TV program, based largely off the "success" of its "Madden Nation" program. That featured a bunch of dopey guys playing Madden 2007 against each other and, as far as we can remember anyway, had no host. The new show, called "NBA Live: Bring It Home," has the same concept, but they've signed themselves up a host whose name you might recognize. More »

      Scoop Jackson And (Someone Else's) Orange Roundie

      Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that, oh, Mike Lupica wrote a story for Esquire in which he discussed a concept he had discovered "on the Internet" called "The Ewing Theory." He then wrote a whole 4,000-word piece in which he borrowed heavily from the "Internet concept," but never actually mentioned whose concept it was. Just that it was found "on the Web," like, as we mentioned when Colin Cowherd did something similar this year, like "he was walking down the street and happened to spot it in the gutter." Don't you think Bill Simmons would have been angry? Don't you think one of Esquire's editors might have pointed out that, uh, you should probably at least mention who on the Internet came up with the concept? More »

      Jason Whitlock Leaves ESPN With Guns Ablaze

      In case there were any lingering doubt what ESPN.com columnist Jason Whitlock thinks of ESPN.com columnist Scoop Jackson, allow Whitlock's Kansas City Star column should clear it up for you. In a column about a study showing how white the sports journalism industry is and what that means, or doesn't mean, Whitlock chimes in: More »

      We Have To Ask ...

      Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ...
      Live from the Super Bowl:
      • 12:30 p.m. Page 2's Scoop Jackson: Have you requested that Allen Iverson's picture be on the cover of any magazines lately?
      • 2 p.m. SB Business with Darren Rovell: How would football be different if, instead of a Gatorade shower, winning coaches were drenched in, say, motor oil?
      • 3 p.m. Cold Pizza's Woody Paige: Which word fits you better — ignoramus or buffoon? We have a bet.

      Scoop Jackson's Look Back

      True Hoop takes on something that we've been kind of eager to sink our teeth into anyway this morning: Scoop Jackson's "Year In Review" column on ESPN Page 2. Jackson has always confused us a bit; his position as Black Columnist at ESPN has, in our opinion, allowed him to get away with continued shoddy research, blatant blanket statements made only to have an effect and, worst of all, the influence he has had on White House crony Paul Wolfowitz. It's like there's a good Scoop and a bad Scoop: The good one gives us well-thought-out columns like his take on the Eddy Curry situation earlier this year; the bad one somehow tries to convince us that the reason Dusty Baker is under fire in Chicago is not because he insists on putting Corey Patterson and Neifi Perez at the top of the order; it's because of a "lynch mob."
