As to how we feel about blogging versus MSM? In typical HP fashion, we're just going to take someone else's news/opinion/joke and make it our own. Big Daddy Drew . What, no one gives a damn and we should get back to talking about how Vince Carter is a douchebag? Okay, we aim to please...

Here's the must-read post, part of his weekly Jamberoo on Deadspin. Obviously, you all know this is stuff I'm extremely interested in. I'm going to take a little time to sort through it then post a reaction.

[BLOGGING IS NOT JOURNALISM] Please Do Not Accuse Us Of Trying To Be Journalists
Published 1/25/2008 by The Professor at Rays Index
Yesterday Big Daddy Drew at Deadspin addressed the subject of Blogging as Journalism. It is an excellent read and I highly recommend for anybody that spends time reading blogs, to take five minutes and read it. It is my feeling that this debate is at the core of much of the criticism that has been leveled at this site, both in the comments and in emails. ...

Preview and Chat: The Dallas Mavericks

... while we have cried out for more Ronny minutes with Drew down, his big toe is holding him back. As for more reading, I suggest the great interview the Brothers K did at the LA Times blog with assistant coach Jim Clemons, who was a back-up guard on the Lakers 72 NBA championship team (with Wilt and West and a host of other greats). Not just great stories, but he ties it into how being on that team made him into a better coach today. Or, check out this great Deadspin rant on the difference between bloggers and journalists.

Bloggolalia: Sports Magazine Cover Bias
Published 1/31/2008 by MCBias at Moderately Cerebral Bias
... Now I know those of you who work in journalism are laughing and telling me this thing has gone on for years. There's a reason why newspaper pictures of the state fair always include pretty blond teenagers, etc. But still, it irritates me. I disagreed with some assumptions in Big Daddy Drew's attempt at serious analysis of bloggers vs. journalists, and I'll get into the details next week. But he's absolutely right when he says there's nothing sacred about the printed word or journalism. I mean, look at that; three of the top sports magazines in America, all intentionally ...

Please Return Your Boners To Their Upright and Engorged Position
Published 5/2/2008 by Lloyd the Barber at Ghostrunner on First
... A few months back, Big Daddy Drew made an amazing and dickjoke laden post about what a blog really was: a blank website. It can be anything you'd like, and the Blue Jay blogosphere showcases it perfectly. You can get a wide variety of analysis, opinion, comedy, and most importantly, discussion. The depth of discussion is what brings people to blogs, depth you're unlikely to find in any newspaper or on any hockey-mad television station. They don't have the time or the resources to dedicate to the minutiae of Johnny Mac's role with the team. ...
