Did anyone make a thread jack about Avery being fired yet?

Who's going to take a position against democracy?

Buzz Bissinger, that's who! No to mention sanity, rational thought, consistecy, and our children's virgin ears.

@Forkball: Already? The wrath of Cuban knows no bounds.

"the YouTube"? Is Buzz ghostwriting?

I would pay 100 dollars to watch Ali G interview Buzz Bissinger.

@Forkball: For rupturing his spleen? That's cold Rangers... oh... the basketball coach?.. I see.

VISABUL DOOCHBAG

This isn't just "Bissinger vs. Leitch". This is "Bissinger vs. Leitch, Deadspin, blogs, wireless internet, PDAs, synthetic motor oil, the space shuttle program, electric typewriters, the four-slot toaster, automatic transmission, and the rise of pharmaceuticals".

I said it before, but again: I'm happy to be here, below the line on Deadspin. I'm sure we all feel the same today.

I noticed a surprising lack of onions on his belt.

@EddieRebel: TV belongs on the fucking TV!

People still listen to NOFX?!

Next time bring coconuts.

Viva La Revolution!

Will's on The Best Damn Sports Show on Fox tonight. Who would've ever thought that might be a step up from Costa Now?

I can see why Bissinger usually just writes, that is a face made for print.

So angry.

@Steve Trachsel, ACE is a proud older brother: I can't wait for the moment when Bissinger decides to drop a large rock on a lake.

I didn't realize it last night, but you can tell Will knows what's coming from the get go.

Did the real thing end as abruptly as the YouTube clip does or did the guy's DVR switch over to tape Backstage Passport?

ohhh, so thats the internet?

Who prints out blog posts?

Bissinger's got the psycho crazy eyes from the get go.

Will's last name is pronounced like leech?

For me, that's the only informative part of the video.

@FEAST: I'd pay $1000 to watch him debate BDD.

@Spanish Necktie: The clip is longer than YouTube's limit. The rest of it is supposed to come around eventually.

You be nice to Buzz, or he'll figure out who you are and call your boss at work for posting on the Deadspins.

@Burnination:You forgot color TV and touch-tone phones.

After getting to watch this segment, I think Will did a pretty good job defending himself and his point, considering he was essentially put in front of a firing squad.

My opinion of Costas dropped another few notches, though.

Dammit, it won't show up on my computer at work. Could someone do a puppet show of it and send it to me? Thanks.

my favorite part is when Will apes Bussinger as some blustery fool making a point by swinging his arms.

Hearing Costas say "good riddance fuck face" is one of the great moments of my life.

This is up there with the time I heard him say (on close circuit at a Phils game) "Can I have a Kleenex. Can someone get me Kleenex....FOR THE LOVE OF GOD can I get a Kleenex."

Nah, this is better.

I really want to watch NOFX: Backstage Passport now.

@Suss--: I think that might be a little beyond his ability. He transcribed the post.

This is getting more coverage around here than the Cubs.

@UkraineNotWeak: I expect Chris Rose to try and act cool and down with these internets.

@Suss--: I print all mine out and take them upstairs to my mom. She puts them on the fridge.

@Dan Levy: I really want him to work that into his coverage of the Olympics this summer.

@Brazil Thrill - Hawks Aficionado: +1 awkward staring contest

(God, when we were reveling in the crazy goodness nine months ago did you think it would have this much staying power?)

Man, Will, that look on Buzz's face during the intro - he looked like he was about to rage-fuck you.

Dave Foley circa 1992 looks nervous.

Sit up straight assbag.

Hey Buzz: you're kind of a fuckface.

Can't wait until he prints this out and reads it on REAL Sports With Bryant Gumbel.

Are we [the athletes] doing anything different we have done in the 60s?

Nope, not at all: Joe DiMagio electrocuted dogs and, I am sure, Johnny Unitas loved him some tranny hookers.

Too bad Costas was too cheap to fly Cousin Mose in for the show. He would've challenged Buzz to wrestle.

"I watched your blog today."
ummm....ok

@Lady Andrea:

But only if it's translated into Mandarin.

Also, what sort of adult is named "Buzz" that doesn't also have "Lightyear" as a last name?

He's just pissed that no one can remember name even though they read FNL. I thought his name was: guy who wrote FNL.

/Mariotti nods his mulleted head in agreement.

@Steve Trachsel, ACE is a proud older brother: All I can say is that I hope Gravel is a candidate in every single Democratic presidential primary from now on. Do I miss that crazy bastard.

@Clarence Rosario: Aldrin. But, upon thinking about it, that's actually pretty damn close. Nevermind.

Clearly the response you would expect out of someone who has realized their waning relavency in the world.

@The Trying Too Hard To Look Young Face: Buzz Bissinger is like Lewis Black without all the funny.

@Suss--: What do you think I read during my morning constitutionals?

@Suss--: What can I say -- sometimes the pharmacy is out of immodium.

The retarded thing about Bissinger's whole Leinart rant is that it is the "mainstream" media that was calling Leinart an un-leaderlike douchebag for that paty. We on the nets just laughed it up.

Oooookay, Ollie. That's enough.

I've never been in a fight in my life, but I'd punch this asshole in the face.

@Clarence Rosario: The same ones who think they have the same hairline as when they were twelve years to find their hairstyle appropiate now.

Watching it again, I realize that Buzz is afraid that if America gets dumber by reading blogs, we won't buy his books and pay for that addition on his house.

@Steve Trachsel, ACE is a proud older brother: +1

WC Fields > WC Heinz

@longefellowes:
Did your opinion drop a few notches because Costas is a tiny, tiny, tiny man?

Hey, Old Media: what, exactly, do you think the guy riding the A train is thinking when he's reading the back page of the Post?

That's right: he's thinking "Hey, Crosby, go fuck yer mothah!". Only instead of writing a letter to the editor, he's shouting it behind me at the Garden.

C'mon Costas, that's totally unfair to pick from a Salisbury post. That guy totally has a foetus face.

And thanks to his phone, the employees at ESPN know Li'l Sean is foetus faced too.

Oh, so they have the fucking internet on computers now?

/bissinger

@ASox: Yep. But just like in the NFL, the guy who throws the first punch gets away with it. The second guy always gets the flag.

@ASox: Bing-fucking-go. Folks around these parts were too busy with the whole yes/no thing.

@Civil Negligence: Reader's Digest?

1. Will did a lot better than I was led to believe from earlier posts and comments.

2. Buzz has issues, issues that are far deeper and darker than we can even imagine. Will just happened to be in the way as Buzz was "working them out."

3. Braylon Edwards did alright for himself while Buzz was wearing his oxygen mask ("DON'T LOOK AT ME!!) and Will was fixing his hair.

ps: Will, the "just got done with a hard day of commodities trading" suit with no tie look is not you. Might I suggest a black v-neck t-shirt?
