Friday Mother Fucking Night Lights, Bitch.
No, not the TV show that stirs srr50’s loins but rather the scribe who begat it. We’re talking Buzz. H.G. Mr. Mojo. Apparently, Buzz, is not too fond of the sports blogosphere (WSJ).
What can I say? He better step the fuck off and respect this Carnival. Perhaps he didn’t get the memo about the copious (one) and prestigious awards (one) we’ve received from some of the funniest fucking guys on the web.
Il Padrino has a measured response.
You can also watch the segment here, if Deadspin has fixed its Internet Media Player.
I’ve never seen a Pulitzer Prize winner so unaware of irony.
Braylon Edwards now really hates white people.
It’s amusing that this was a segment billed as Internet Media, just some sort of fad that they hope will pass, like Scipio and his Dolphin shorts. The Internet IS media. Or as Chirs Rock once called it, The Medias. Newspaper revenue models are crumbling as Craig Newmark stands as the gate holding is mouse like a cudgel. Paging Marshall McLuhan. Welcome to four years ago.
Great guy to read on this is Jeff Jarvis. This was a good story. Masnick also has a nice post-mortem.

Bitter. Arrogant. Threatened. Defensive. Self-important. Did I miss anything?
Geez. I’ve never seen Bissinger give an interview before, but that spectacle makes me not want to partake of anything he has to offer.

It did not help that Leitch is a very nervous, nebbish type on camera who does not communicate effectively without help of the written word.
That said, Bissinger was a grade a cocksucker whose insane rambling was reminiscent of a drunken HenryJames diatribe on the increasing instances of heterosexuality amongst homosexuals.

The Leinart photos are a terrible example for Buzz and blog haters. Deadspin posted the photo and basically said, “Ha ha, here’s a pic of Matt Leinart looking like a douche with a beer bong.” It was members of the print media who made way more of it than it was and went all “this proves he’s too immature to lead an NFL team” on him.

the best part was when costas read those comments about salisbury or whoever getting fired and when it cut to leitch he was visibly laughing.
what those old fucks don’t get is that we’re just a bunch of jackasses trying to make each other laugh.
