Closing Out This Bissinger Business

We really don't want to get into this too much more today, because yesterday was exhausting enough (and we weren't even working!). But we will say this: We were, bizarrely, on "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" yesterday, and not only was the level of discourse pitched higher than on "Costas Now," but, in fact, we walked away wondering if John Calipari weren't a better journalist than Buzz Bissinger. (Clip after the jump.) More »

Theoretically, this will be a roundtable discussion between ourselves, Costas, the outstanding writer (if not necessariliy sabermetrically inclined) Buzz Bissinger and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards. But we have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to be there as The Spokesperson For The Internet. More »

Just A Bunch Of Nerds, Debating Nerdom

We're big fans of Fire Joe Morgan's weekly deconstructions of ESPN analyst Joe Morgan's chats on ESPN.com — even if the chats of late, in the words of Fire Joe Morgan itself, have had "entirely un-Morgan-like reason and coherence" — and, to have some fun themselves, the folks at St. Louis Cardinals blog Cardnilly have broken down the most recent ESPN chat with Three Nights In August author Buzz Bissinger.

We Have To Ask ...

Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ...
11 a.m. MLB with Jayson Stark: No offense, but you're the first person we've met who spells their first name like that who sucks at basketball.
11:30. Author Buzz Bissinger: So who's a bigger prick: Stephen Glass or Billy Bob Thornton?
2 p.m. MLB HOFer Gaylord Perry: You've got a healthy supply of Vaseline under the collar of your shirt at this moment, don't you? That is so great.
