“Costas Now” Internet segment in video from

O’Day asked for it, so here it is. Watching it again … ugh … I really just don’t want to write about it because I’d go on for way too long. (See here, here, here and here for some great writing on it.) I will say this: it’s clear Buzz doesn’t read blogs; he doesn’t understand them. So to have all that spite and anger built up about something you don’t know at all, it’s a bit much. And it’s a generational thing. It happens in music, art, film, fashion — the old ...

... Meanwhile, if anyone saw that Bob Costas thing last night, where Pulitzer Prize winning author Buzz Bissinger went Captain Queeg on Will Leitch of Deadspin--I was going to write something about it, but Big Daddy Drew of Kissing Suzy Kolber has the pitch-perfect response. Leitch joins Ken Griffey Jr. as people Bissinger ...

... me saying so, that’s a fuck of a lot of profanity and abuse heaped on by those supposed guardians of the Right Way of doing things.  Glass houses, stones, throwing….right, you know the deal. Takes on the program: Both Will and AJ from Deadspin, Orson at EDSBS, Brian at Awful Announcing, D-Wil at Sports on My Mind (who agrees with Bissinger), FJM’s Ken Tremendous, The FanHouse’s Michael David Smith, and BDD at KSK (yes, vulgar and profane). ...

A Few Angry Reporters…and Bloggers

... world. Some of them probably grew up with little responsibility and had many of their needs met with the help of others. You can read this in some their posts every day. If you read the responses on the Costas NOW show from some in the blogsphere you can hear that they can’t handle the criticism. A few of these guys I like…but they come off as spoiled brats. I will link a few…but a word of caution… some of these posts are not suitable for all eyes. Awuful Announcing Kissing Suzy Kolber Every Day Should be Saturday The Sporting Blog ...

... and all things good and nice in the world, will no longer be fucking horses with every spare chance he gets. After his blatant display of unhinged douchebaggery last night on the Bob Costas show, "The Setup: How to Fail Miserably at Cornering and Depantsing A Highly Successful Internet and Print Media Sensation," Bissinger is said to have boarded a plane to Eastern Washington, where he will be researching his latest book, the tale of ...

... hysterically. I can’t really add anything to other than a personal moment that I was reminded of while watching Bissinger curse up a storm. Obviously, my story can’t compare to being called “full of shit” on premium cable, but I think some of the themes are similar. ...

Journalists vs. Bloggers, round ∞
Published 5/1/2008 by Big Al at The Wayne Fontes Experience
... Then again, not everyone agrees with everything I write, and I can be as lowbrow, profane and misogynistic as anyone on the web. (Well, not KSK. They're in a league of their own) God knows how much traffic Deadspin has sent my way over the past 2+ years, and it's really appreciated. Deadspin has helped many a blogger get noticed. Which is why the attack on Leitch so angered the blogosphere, as it felt as if we were all being attacked. One of our own was under fire, and if there is one thing sports bloggers do well, it's circle the wagons. ...

... has actually unfolded. Big Brown was crowned, anointed, and damn near canonized as The Next Triple Crown Winner during the lag time between the Preakness and Belmont. They even sent Rick Riley out to Belmont in a brown suit, for God's sake. At several points during the pre-race broadcast, the on-air talking heads claimed that the race was "as close to a foregone conclusion as any I've ever seen." (and that's a paraphrase, Mr. Bissinger; I know you're reading anything concerning our equine friends) ...
