Part V: Costas Now Redux [Will Leitch All-Star Blogebrity Roast!]
Deadspin — We continue today's roasting festivities with this utterly brilliant video from the one and only JE SKEETS, who today was granted a rare work release from his Yahoo! prison. ...

Deadspin Is Awesome Today
Foul Balls — I mean, you start the day by posting pictures of me, and the average reader has to wonder, "How can today get any better?" I didn't think it could, but damn it if Deadspin hasn't proven me wrong today. First they actually convinced Bill Simmons to write a post there today ...

SO LONG, LOSER
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — I admit, the only thing lamer than a blog writing about sports media personnel is a blog writing about another blog's personnel, but the fucking epic roast of Deadspin's founding editor Will Leitch that's happening today (at Deadspin, of all places) truly deserves its own post here while I bask in its awesomeness. Instead of his weekly Balls Deep column, Drew Magary hit up everyone from sports bloggers to mainstream media guys to make fun of Leitch in a monstrous no-holds-barred jokefest that's been going all afternoon.  Some of the more notable ...

A.J. Daulerio Named New Editor of Deadspin
The700Level.com - Philly Sports & Minutiae — A.J. Daulerio has been named the successor to the great Will Leitch to take over editing duties at Deadspin. The Internet's most popular and powerful sports blog is now run by a paisan from Philadelphia. As many of you know, A.J. spent about a year at Philadelphia Magazine before leaving to become a Senior Writer for the site he is now taking over. We hear there may be some major changes to the direction of the site and look forward to following along for the ride. A new staffer, Clay Travis, will also be joining the fold. We just hope there's still plenty of Balls Deep. Congratulations to A.J. and we ...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Buzz Bissinger [Deadspin Hall Of Fame]
Deadspin — Frankly, I'm not sure what more more I can say about good ole Buzz. I think we covered everything here and here and here and, at last, here. I mean, what more is there? I suppose I can just leave you with videos, if you were somehow just beamed here. The original: And, of course, the brilliant remix by Mr. Skeets, who has taken over the site today. But is he a Hall of Famer? Seventy five percent is the threshold for induction. Vote below: Polls will be open until next Monday afternoon. Vote as if you just pissed the ...

Playoffs And Anal Beads. Your Wild Card Jamboroo! [Jamboroo]
Deadspin — Drew’s Jamboroo runs every Thursday. Buy his book here. Email Drew here. Read him at KSK. Happy New Year, everyone. And we wave goodbye to 2008, I’d like to look back at the thing I’m most grateful for over the past year… Zantac. Oh, sweet merciful Zantac. Is it any coincidence your tiny little pills are shaped just like Superman’s chest shield? You helpful little bastard, you. With you, dear Zantac, I can pretend like that meatball parmesan sub I just ate didn’t completely lay waste to my insides. Why, I get nary a single palpitation at all! Thanks to you, I don’t have ...

Tonight Is The One Year Anniversary Of Bissinger Vs. Leitch [Duan!]
Deadspin — Last year at this time, our floppy-haired hero Emeritus was just coming off a wicked raisin binge for his big appearance on "Costas Now." Look how far we've come. We're still living in the Post-Bissinger days of yore for sports blogging. For all of his bluster that night from that tiny leather chair, the only thing he managed to do was make sports blogs more popular, coin the phrase "pisses the shit out of me," and introduce thousands of unsuspecting middle-aged suburbanites to the genius of Big Daddy Balls. In the coming months, Buzz went on a contrition tour with seemingly every local radio station out there, ...

Today We Will Be Talking About…
The Goose's Roost — by Ryan This. But for now, enjoy the work of J.E. Skeets to lighten the mood. We’ll be back shortly.

Commence The Blogger Circular Firing Squad
s2nblog.wordpress.com 6/25/2008 — A curious thing happened to my RSS reader in the past couple of days: there was this article in the L.A. Times on Sunday that basically was the same old “us v. them” narrative about the mainstream media and sports blogging, and it made ...
Buzz Bissinger Can’t Hold My Pajamas
On the heels* of Bissinger’s “Costas Now” tirade against Deadspin’s Will Leitch ( so eight weeks ago), and what my old colleague Signal To Noise aptly described as the Blogger Circular Firing Squad that re-ignited the blogs vs. MSM debate this week, here’s a link to a Q&A between myself and the Patriot-News ‘ Daniel Victor about the tenuous yet ...
BLOG SCRUTINY CONTINUESProFootballTalk.com
That whole Buzz Bissinger-Will Leitch live TV showdown on HBO’s Costas Now has sparked a closer look at web sites known generally as “blogs.” There have been many articles written, both in the old media and the new, in the wake of the April 29, 2008 incident. We mention two of them here because they’re so [...]
