“Get Your Story Straight”: Michigan Alum Jason Whitlock Drops the Mic, Defends Position With Bold Answer to Skeptical Fan

Jason Whitlock is one unapologetic man. His reviews, often daunting for sports personalities, delve into the nooks and crooks of the matter. However, his reported cynical way of delivery is what sets everyone off. Safe to say, this makes him armed enough with words that can shut anyone up.

In his show ‘Fearless’, Whitlock had second-hand embarrassment when Smith ranted and raved for almost an hour on-air regarding his memoir. However, somehow his comments led to fans developing confusion among fans regarding Whitlock’s football history. However, not sparring them with the humiliation, Whitlock publically corrected in his signature no-nonsense way.

Jason Whitlock is proud of his Michigan history

Before cementing his foot as a football journalist, Jason Whitlock had dipped his toes into the actual fieldwork as well. The Indiana native was a feared offensive lineman back in his day. After finishing off his stellar school football career, Whitlock commenced his freshman year at Ball State. However, he later transferred to Michigan to play as a QB. So when a fan mixed his position at Michigan with his freshman team, Whitlock was quick to reprimand them. “I played QB at Michigan, sir. Get your story straight,” Whitlock lambasted.

Along the lines, the blazing offensive lineman found his way to channel his explosive attacks into words when he embarked on his journey as the co-host of ‘Speak For Yourself’ alongside Colin Cowherd. By 2002, he found his break, transcending to work with ESPN and other shows. Who can blame him? Whitlock is just carrying around the legacy of all the Michigan players who went on to become some of the best NFL analysts of all time.

Michigan alums who became great broadcasters

Dan Dierdorf tops the list. Along with being one of the best Michigan and NFL offensive tackles ever, he is also remembered as a player who started as a man of color for the radio and made his way to become Verne Lundquist’s partner on CBS. As legendary of a player, as legendary of a broadcaster.

Some might argue that Jalen Rose might top Dierdorf with his 13-year career in the NBA after the U-Mich program, before assuming the position of ESPN and ABC host. The younger fans might resonate more when names like Desmond Howard, Tom Harmon, and Brian Griese are mentioned, at least the ones who have seen them as hosts of various shows across. All in all, Michigan alumni have proved themselves to be as great broadcasters as they used to play.
