Counterpoint: Whitlock is actually an incredibly talented writer but has some glaring personality and ego issues (not unlike other successful writers!) that have contributed greatly to the failure that was his tenure at The Undefeated and almost every other platform.

Let us not over-parse the meaning of a “chug,” but instead focus on the Post’s choice of phrasing: “someone threw a can of beer at him,” which to me implies someone tried to pop Costas in the side of the head with a beer can (Philadelphia fans know what I’m talking about).
