The Buzz Bissinger Affair, In Song (And I Feel Fine)


Of course you knew that this whole Buzz Bissinger/Deadspin saga would not be complete until it was presented in ballad form by Ryan Parker. It's The End Of Sports News As We Know It. Enjoy. And don't be frightened by the dinosaurs, or the manual typewriter! More »

On Race, Message Boards And Shutting The Hell Up

Of all the panels on "Costas Now" the other night, the one we thought was most effective at tickling the cerebral cortex was the last one, about race, featuring Cris Carter, Michael Wilbon and Jason Whitlock. (It was so absorbing that "Costas Now" is doing a full 90-minute segment just on race down the line.) The most telling section, however, was from the video piece beforehand, which featured Kellen Winslow Sr. talking about the differences between media coverage of Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident, and his son's. His point was that media coverage called his son "dumb" and "a thug," while the Roethlisberger accident was mostly treated with concern as to Big Ben's well-being. Maybe Winslow's right, and maybe he isn't. But it definitely got us to thinking. How did we cover that? More »

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 »

hey that went well

Of Jimmy Olson, Spittle And The Dying Of The Light

Here's the important thing to remember about Buzz Bissinger, and whatever the heck happened on "Costas Now" about two hours ago: Buzz is not alone. Sure, he might be metaphorically alone, raining spittle on the imaginary demons that clearly haunt him. But if you don't think that almost every single person — with obvious, clear exceptions — who was on all those panels last night didn't come up to him afterwards and give him a fist pound and a "yeah, we really struck back tonight!" well, you weren't there. This really is what many of them think. Though most are a little calmer about it. More »

Costas Now Airs Tonight, 10 P.M. Eastern. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

All right, as you might have heard, we'll be appearing live on Costas Now tonight on HBO, at 10 p.m. ET. 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 »
