<![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends - Deadspin Comments]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends]]> Why do I ALWAYS have to vote 2 and sometimes 3 times on the approval poll before this site links me to the results? Don't get me wrong, voting DISAPPROVE 2 times for LeBatard was an out of body experience. But I feel like I'm getting a freebie. Is this happening to anyone else?

]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends]]> This is a stupid post. Of course blogs are a new and innovative way for the average fan to express themselves, allowing new voices and insight to be heard that the mainstream media chooses to ignore. There is no question that is true. But do I read these sports blogs? No. Is it because I'm an elderly at heart, even though I try to play cool by appearing on TV next to an even more decrepit old fart? Perhaps. Is it because I'm secretly threatened by people who are being more entertaining and informative than me, who mostly do it for free, while I get paid tons of cash?

Um....shut the hell up!

]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends]]> Wilbon doesn't like blogs because some black men just can't leave behind the world they grew up in. He ain't the first and won't be the last.

Midwestern-City_Water-Vapor

]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends]]> At that point, Wilbon mentioned Deadspin and The Big Lead, and he seemed to realize that those blogs are higher in quality than the ones he dismisses as lacking in standards.

I'd hate to see the blogs that are lower in quality than The Big Lead.

KevinNoMaas

]]> <![CDATA[Michael Wilbon Gets By With A Little Help From His Young Friends]]> Let's face it, how many blogs has Wilbon probably ever read? A half dozen? In essence he's doing the same thing he accuses blogs of doing - throwing out accusations and misinformation without actually doing the reporting. I like the guy generally, but he's totally in the wrong on this one.

And everyone stares at them, because you know he's banging her, but its so so wrong.
