Before you watch this you need a little background. I wasn't around when this was recording and if you watch you'll notice and annoying Comcast reminder for a TV show. The show in question is NOFX: Backstage Passport and if you enjoy 40 year old punk rockers doing drugs in foreign countries than it's for you! I figured most of you wouldn't mind and would love to see the whole thing, so I'm ...

Top Shelf
Who knew? I generally try to avoid blogging about blogging because I'm just not sure that most people find it that interesting but I'm going to make an exception here. The blogging world is all atwitter over a panel discussion - and I use the word discussion loosely - that recently took place on Costas Now , hosted by Bob Costas. It would be helpful if you watched the video found here but I'm ...

The Fast and the Fabulous
Oh. My. God.
You have to watch this video clip of Buzz Bissinger , author of “Friday Night Lights,” having a serious meltdown over Will Leitch and his super popular sports blog Deadspin.com. It’s a segment from the Bob Costas show Costas Now. (I love Bob Costas by the way, but that’s neither here nor there)
This isn’t about NASCAR or racing specifically, but ...
Bissinger Is Such a Buzz Killer —
Eye On Sports Media
Athens, GA (April 30, 2008) - In watching the video of last night's live anti-blog tirade by Friday Night Lights author H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger on Costas NOW , my jaw dropped. Here was the boarding-school raised, Ivy League educated, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist teeing off on Will Leitch of Deadspin with enough foul-mouth profanity that a sailor might even blush. The blogosphere was abuzz ...

• Some grouchy media dinosaurs use Bob Costas’ HBO show to growl about the sports blogosphere .
• But they don’t understand the true power of the Internet, as in the case of a small-college football player using YouTube to get himself drafted by the Eagles .

Signal to Noise
(Video via Awful Announcing .)
Everyone’s up in arms today over last night’s Costas Now , in which Will Leitch basically fended off H.G. “Buzz” Bissinger and Bob Costas as they ranted about blogging’s abusive tone and profane writing. Bissinger’s particular diatribe reeks of a noxious sort of desperation, one that a writer of his talent should ...

The blogosphere is a "Buzz" today over the verbal venom Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist H.G. Bissinger spat at Deadspin blogger Will Leitch on Bob Costas's HBO show last night. It was wild.

The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL.
So, of course Buzz Bissinger’s little tirade — which should be making the Youtube rounds any minute now — has aroused a few passions here. First thought was anger. Second thought was incredulity. Third thought was sadness, or some semblance of it, that Bissinger can be such an interesting writer and still so extremely out of touch. The last thought, I think, the one ...
