 Buzz Bissinger vs. Will Leitch: The Day After  Links4
The lead of the usual Quickie post was getting too unwieldy with Bissinger updates, so I am breaking it into its own post : I should have led my Sporting News column today with the Buzz Bissinger thing, because that's all anyone who reads blogs is going to be hearing about or talking about this morning.
