I wouldn't say he's even in the top half of guys I truly enjoy listening to these days, but I'll pick and choose segments he's done on Youtube on occasion and find them at least interesting.
10 or so years ago I'd have said "eh, who cares? Guy sucks..." but now I think he's actually decent at this and will probably find a way to a decent enough gig somewhere.

And I've been searching madly for it, but can't seem to find the clip of when Eric Mangini was on Speak For Yourself, and Whitlock basically called him out and said his shitty opinions were a product of him having his head so far up Belichick's large intestine.
I do appreciate that about Whitlock. He'll tear people apart if they deserve it.
