I don't really care that he's trashing Canada, it's a reflection of his insecurities, nothing to do with us Canadians.

Can't lie **** is hilarious

It comes from a place of hate. He works for ESPN. He has a platform to speak on and hes spreading wrong information. Its immature but at the same time I feel naturally defensive because he glorifies misconceptions even when he knows they aren't true out of spite.

I had to google who Mark Jones was but as soon as I saw his picture I knew I didn't like him from something. Does anyone remember this? -

What a terrible post-draft interview.

him saying bruh is so cringeworthy

Don't know why he hates Canada...it was home for 30 years, his life though so his nationality is his own prerogative. Even if I chose to become American I wouldn't trash the country I was born and raised in. "Threw my passport out", chill bruh.

We shoulda voted Harper back in just so we could get him to revoke Mark's citizenship. :lol:

Those are embarrassing tweets. Almost seems like somebody made a fake account. Just unreal.

He seems very insecure. It's a bad look.

Goes out of his way to point out his son isn't Canadian...

Except that his son has "Miami, Canada" as his home in his Twitter bio.

His own damn kids who have even less of a connection to Canada than him are prouder to be associated with Canada than he is. It's baffling. Seriously. WTF?

Biggest tool in the shed. His brother for sure is completely embarrassed by him.

Mark Jones can stay in America forever, as far as I'm concerned. He has no class.

Fortunately, we have Dan Shulman who is a way bigger name at ESPN than Mark Jones and he is a very proud Canadian!

Yeah, was surprised when I first learned Shulman was Canadian, he is such a mainstay on ESPN thought he was American.

I never knew this stuff about Mark...

a bit eye-opening and quite frankly shocking.

I literally cannot believe that he and Paul are even related.

Some of those embedded tweets are down right embarassing... I really don't like ESPN making him the first point of contact for Raptors first round picks either. Talk about a guy who could plant the wrong idea in an impressionable 19 year old brain.

I'm a bit sick reading this stuff.

Hes also going to be doing a nice chunk of Blue Jays games this year whch is a great thing. He still lives here as well.

C Court · Post #136 » by **C Court** » Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:36 am

Shulman lives in Toronto and will broadcast 30 Jays games this season.

You don't hear Dan mocking the FAN 590 or Toronto, where he got his start. He has class.

He used to call Raps games on TSN...I have a VHS from the 2000-2001 home opener when Jerry Stackhouse
lit us up for like 40 or something and he was announcing with Leo. He used to do Jays games in the 90's he's
actually gonna call some Jays games this year.

Also John Saunders the Raps first play by play guy moved to ESPN years ago and is proud to rep the 6

Hey guys did I mention that Shulman is gonna call 30 jays games this year lol

He also seems to have been deeply bothered by how Ben Johnson was treated after he got busted for steroids. Curious to know what was going on behind the scenes with him and his TSN peers before he bolted to the US.

As a sophomore at Jacksonville, Shea Jones is averaging 0.8 ppg and shooting a sizzling .222 from the field.
