Bissinger waited approximately seventy seconds into the segment on The Internet before firing a shot across the blogosphere's bow, Will responded by running for his ...

Let me sum up tonight's Costas Now piece about the state of the sports landscape: anything that has ever gone wrong in the past, is currently going wrong or will go wrong in the future can be blamed on blogs, specifically Deadspin & it’s founder Will Leitch. This was proven by Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger by reading a brief passage from Deadspin about Rich Garces’s tits.Leitch Entered the Bissinger Saw

Buzz Bissinger was recently on Costas Now on HBO. They ripped into Deadspins Will Leitch. Costas says he did not know Buzz would be so harsh, but it is obvious that he was a ringer. Costas is on record for not liking blogs. He is also on record for rethinking his stance on blogs. So, he brings in the left-hander Buzz to do his dirty work on his show. I personally ran into Buzz Bissinger

One of the questions some bloggers have asked in the six days since Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Buzz Bissinger launched into an anti-blog tirade on Bob Costas 's HBO show is: To what extent do others in the mainstream media agree with the content of Bissinger's anti-blog screed?

I watched the "unfair" matchup between writer and anti-Internet/blogger Buzz Bissinger (who wrote Friday Night Lights) and the owner of one of the biggest sports blogs, Will Leitch (Deadspin).

For a guy who has given his share of sanctimonious lectures about the coarsening of our culture, Bob Costas sure did allow a lot of profane screaming on his HBO show on Tuesday night.
