Michael Wilbon Scott Van Pelt Enlighten Us On Why Newspapers Havent Lost Readers
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
SO THAT'S WHY NEWSPAPERS HAVEN'T LOST ANY READERS! AWFUL ANNOUNCING has this gem of an exchange between Michael Wilbon and Scott Van Pelt yesterday on ESPN's new midday radio debacle Mike Tirico radio show: SVP: " I dont know how old Jenny Carlson is, but perhaps if she's younger and I'm not assuming but if you are a younger writer and that's why I asked how long you've been at it, perhaps you're more inclined to be more blogger..." MW: " YES !" SVP: " ....in other words more critical than you would be to to be more towards the side of the guy in the hat wearing....that says press on it...the more journalistic. Do you buy that ?" MW: " Yes. I do buy it. And I have gone after some of our younger staffers at the Washington Post to say I don't want to read this again. That's not what we do.

Rumor: DeAngelo Hall to KC?
The Big Lead —
... No clue if it’s true, but perhaps PFT or Mike Silver or Peter King can crap all over this and get a good laugh at our expense (because, you know, all bloggers do is spew opinions and rumors). All we do know about Hall (seen above getting toasted by TO) is that the ...

... 4. Michael Wilbon is afraid of blogs? Good, as he should be. Well, actually Wilbon has nothing to fear, as he's one of the best columnists around. But the MSM in general? They are quaking in their boots, for good reason. How many of you go to the blogosphere first for the vast majority of your sports pontificating? I know I do. ...

ESPN's Michael Wilbon Explains His Feelings Toward Blogs: 'I'm Old'
FanHouse —
Filed under: NFL Media Watch, Washington, DC, ESPNA look inside Monday Night Football. In the bowels of the Metrodome before the Bears-Vikings Monday Night Football game, I was introduced to Michael Wilbon of ESPN and the Washington Post. Knowing that Wilbon isn't a fan of blogs, I asked him to explain why. I was surprised that his response was more about his own personal preferences than about bashing bloggers, although he did a little bit of that, too. "I'm old," the 49-year-old Wilbon told me ...
PTI is Strangely Pro-Playoff
deepsouthsports.net —
Mike Wilbon may think blogs is the devil, but he's ok in my book. Why? Cause he's "a Big 10 guy" with some clout and perspective who actually believes in an 8 team college football playoff. Here's the truthiness... ...

... who doesn’t understand the principle tenets of journalism. You’re obviously just some Pollyanna who never likes to see his team criticized. There’s no in-between at all! Are you a blogger? Oh, then you obviously are some horrible, predatory rumormonger. You aren’t fit to play act with heads on sticks like a real reporter! ...
Mixed Signals From the Washington Post
ShysterBall —
... Still, the timing is awkward and, given the history of blogger antipathy among som Post sportswriters, curious. At the very least, one would hope that the Post would explain what, exactly, Tunison has said under his nom de plume that has discredited it so egregiously.

... rant. Even Techdirt has chimed in, with Mike Masnick saying basically the same thing I did — MSM people don’t understand the Internet, nor do they want to. (And yes, Brian, he gives ol’ Bob Costas some stick, too.)
Still, this thought has been stuck in my head for the last day or two, and it’s time I got it out. It involves one of my favorite sports TV shows — ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption.
Here’s the thing: PTI co-host Michael Wilbon is afraid of sports bloggers.
