Someone sent this over last night:

🙄 I was v respectful in that comment because I’m one of the few people in this city who has any for you.

You aren’t in the position to tell me how to do my job. Tone it down and be cool, olehead. Wasn’t that deep. https://t.co/zZJI40wQdU

This is what Howard wrote in two separate tweets:

“Jason getting back and responding to you after you criticized me for the my item of LeBron James living in NY and traveling to and from Philly by helicopter. You made a strong point there was no credibility with that info. You had no clue!!! Did you see the helicopter and video of his transportation. Instead of being a cheerleader and kiss ass of the players do your job as a sportscaster. Be a reporter for a change and not a player’s and team kiss ass!”

…

“Get a clue he criticize my report and he had no idea what he was talking about because he was a cheerleader and tries to kiss the players rear end. The fans will decide whether they like that but if you love Philadelphia so much he’d live in the area.”

Burger King seems to be saying that Dumas poo-poo’d reporting that LeBron James would commute to and from Philadelphia. Something like that. The context clues are difficult because Howard can’t string together a coherent sentence. I’ll look around and see if I can figure out what he’s talking about.

But that’s honestly not even the story here.

The story is Howard Eskin, a legendary ass kisser, criticizing someone else for ass kissing. You’re kidding, right? This is like the world’s biggest pot calling the world’s biggest kettle black. They call this a “psychological projection.” Eskin spent 30 years kissing the Philadelphia Eagles’ asses. The Birds could do no wrong in Howard’s eyes. He had his cushy little gig of walking the sidelines and wearing his ridiculous fur coat while carrying water for the organization. At the same time, he killed every other team to give off the impression that he was some hardnosed and unbiased reporter when everyone with an IQ above 30 knew he was grandstanding, as most charlatans do.

Howard Eskin calling someone else a cheerleader and butt kisser – hilarious!

“Do as I say, but not as I did for 30 years in Philadelphia sports!”

This would be like Ozzy Osbourne (RIP) criticizing someone else for biting off the head of a bat. Like Robert Downey Jr. leading your kid’s D.A.R.E program and telling them about the dangers of cocaine.

And by the way, Howard might not be wrong about Dumas. I don’t know if he’s an ass kisser or not. TV guys have different roles than beat writers and radio hosts and bloggers. Their audiences are generally casual audiences, though they operate differently on social media than they do on TV. But the average Action News viewer is not expecting Ducis Rodgers or Jason Dumas to embark upon a Pablo Torre-esque investigation of LeBron James’ helicopter commuting situation, right?
