Dear Real, Credited, Respected, I-Went-To-School-For-This-Shit Journalists,

I’ll be honest with you. I want you to win this so called mainstream media v. blogs war. I mean, you created it, you should come out on top. I don’t start seasons in Madden to go 6-10, right? But over the last few weeks, a few of you aren’t [...]

Tiger made some incredible shots?!? Whah!!!! On a bad knee?!? Woweewoweewowee! And on his last put, he forced a playoff and now they have to play 18 more holes of boring fringe-sport golf?!? Zang!

I’ll just say I don’t think this is exactly the right marketing approach unless the goal of these spots [...]

I swear to fucking tits, if Eight Belles being euthanized turns into Barbaro Pt. 2, I’m going to shut this blog down, cancel all my sports packages, quit my 37 fantasy leagues, sell my tv and move to a country where sports and more importantly sports coverage are yet to exist.
