OT: What Is Wrong With Mark Jones From ESPN aka Paul Jones Brother?

[C Court]

I'm guessing people tweet Paul Jones or ask him all the time about his brothers behaviour but he doesn't say a thing right?

He's been asked about his brother's douchebaggery, but I'm not aware he's ever responded. It has to bug him though. Jonesy is a proud Canadian (from Jamaica) who does not like ignorant Americans.

I feel like he's bitter about this particular incident. Notice how he calls out CANADIAN MEDIA. He worked in Candian media in this time. He probably had some major beef with colleagues and was starting out so he had no power or klout. Probably felt an identity crisis in this era. This was actually a dark era in Canada and exposed that old stock vs new canadian BS. But times are different and he's gotta move on --- he can't rag on us and our fans who many are minorities as well...

Also notice the word PASTY in his last tweet, racial and unnecessary...anyone who watches BORDER SECURITY knows all the guards are brown/asian..

We're all "pasty" up here.
So much self-hatred.

This is really bad. Why is this not a bigger deal right now on social media? It should be blowing up.

Duchy yes but he's saying mostly the truth.
Yes it's still chilly as f- in the middle of May,
Looney still garbage against USD,
Pearson is definitely in top 3 worst airports I've ever been,
USA won so he is happy as a US citizen (don't matter where he was born and raised, he chose to leave and not be part of us).
And we will boo DD if he signs with Lakers and come back because that's just what we do (we even booed Jose ffs).

So yea... can't hate him for this.
Don't overreact.

Duchy yes but he's saying mostly the truth. - Far from it
Yes it's still chilly as f- in the middle of May, - Mildly truthful. Dude lives in Miami, wonder why he doesn't complain about NY or Chi
Looney still garbage against USD, - Looney just went below par 6 months ago. Above par for 3 years. Climbing back now (1.22 vs 1.4 when he wrote that douche tweet)
Pearson is definitely in top 3 worst airports I've ever been, - You've clearly never traveled. O'hare, LaGuardia, Any airport in the Caribbean, LAX, Heathrow, Gatwick, I could go on and on
USA won so he is happy as a US citizen (don't matter where he was born and raised, he chose to leave and not be part of us). - I'm okay with this, but ignoring Canadian wins and just going for the U.S. is super douchey
And we will boo DD if he signs with Lakers and come back because that's just what we do (we even booed Jose ffs). - This is true, but not to the same extent as bosh. I feel many of us don't really want DD back...

So yea... can't hate him for this.
Don't overreact.

I think because he's pretty irrelevant.

Forget his brother. Someone needs to tweet Paul Jones and tell him to stop using cliches in every sentence he speaks. He is so annoying to listen to in interviews.

I have said it in this thread and I will repeat it, because it is painfully obvious.

Mark Jones has been at ESPN since 1990.

I watch alot of ESPN content via the Sports Pack -- College Basketball, College Football. We get some NBA coverage up here. We get some of there midday talk shows on TSN. We get Baseball Tonight and ESPN Baseball. Is he on Sportscenter - nope.

Where is Mark Jones on any of it? He has limited broadcast roles for the NBA. He get's some games when ESPN has many games on the go, and they have to use the lower tier announcers for some games.

He is literally as low as any ESPN rookie broadcaster. He is bottom of the barrel at ESPN. While he has had some success by getting to ESPN in the first place, it has to be humiliating to be at the bottom of the barrel for so long, and get passed up time after time.

A few years back, FOX Sports, NBC Sports. and CBS Sports all Expanded. They needed voices and took some lower tier people from ESPN and gave them nice raises. Mark Jones was not one of them -- one can only assume they did not want him.

The guy is a bitter man about his career and takes it out in Canada to feel better about himself.

So Mark Jones is doing 8 hours of NBA Draft Combine coverage. Someone else doing celebrity poker?

The fact that he feels the need to tweet about an 8-hour shift covering the NBA suggests he doesn't get to do high-profile stuff very often.

People need to stop concerning themselves with this guy, he is not worth your time or consideration.

He's covering the NBA COMBINE for ESPN Sportscentre -- it's not a high profile gig.

We should blank out names and put tweets of 16 year olds and Mark Jones side-by-side; I'm not sure I'd get half of them right!

Lmaooo this dude really changed his bio to "Not dual citizen". Someone must have really hurt him here

[FluLikeSymptoms]

My earliest memory of TSN is laughing with my dad at Mark Jones. He used to call line-drive homers "frozen ropes" and was generally a twit.

If at the age of 54, you are using 'bruh' to refer to someone. You need to be punched...
