Brog: Proud To Officially Introduce ‘Deadspin Nation’

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:00:49 +1900

Mark McGuire of the ALBANY TIMES-UNION has this line today about the curious celebrity of Anna Kournikova : “ Kournikova’s career remains a prominent example of how sports, sex and celebrity congeal into the oleo that is entertainment in Deadspin Nation . ” (Forget cheese, in Deadspin Nation, it’s all about free government mustard ) I know, there’s ...

Leitch: Does A-Rod even know the extent to which he’s being used, and does it even matter?

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:43:24 +1900

When Alex Rodriguez was traded to the Yankees in 2004, Doug Mientkiewicz, a high-school teammate of Rodriguez’s in Miami, said he’d be able to handle the pressure. After all, he’d been “under the microscope since he was 15 years old.” A-Rod was only 17 when a scout told Sports Illustrated “he’s the best (amateur prospect) I’ve ever seen.” As we watch A-Rod’s tabloid excoriation across our ...

Buzz Bissinger, Will Leitch reunite on 'Costas Now'

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:27:23 +1900

I am going to try today to watch my tape of last night's "Costas Now" and watch the British Open live and write a newspaper column simultaneously, so please forgive me for light blogging. So far I have seen Buzz Bissinger and Will Leitch sitting next to each other enjoying pre-show beers and hot dogs, and even hugging. Now Pete Rose is asking for a second chance. CBS Radio sent me a ...

Aw That's Cute, Leitch And Bissinger Make Up Over Beers And Dogs

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:11:00 +1900

I got wind of this ahead of time but I figured that Leitch wanted it to be a surprise. In case you missed Bob Costas' Town Hall Meeting on Baseball last night, he had Will and Buzz Bissinger in the crowd and introduced them before the event began.... So sweet....they look like old friends and there's even some background on the idea.... Whose idea was this? Costas'. He called me late ...

Costas Does Not Want Viewers if They Are Looking for a 'Repeat of Bissinger - Leitch'

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:57:00 +1900

I find it whimsically amusing that over 30 years after he began his broadcasting career (roughly around the time he used the word "blowjob" as a synonym for the word "choke" in an ABA game) he is somehow being redefined by a one-sided shouting match between a blogger and a vitriol fueled author. However, if your motivation for watching Costas Now this evening (9 p.m., HBO, natch) is to see a ...
