Check out this clever video of Buzz Blowhardinger's HBO rants and be sure to watch the ending.
I am trying not to beat this Will Leitch/Buzz Bissinger story into the ground because there are plenty of more intelligent writers who post on sports "blog" type sites for a real pay check that are much more eloquent than me on this topic.
While I am offended by his narcissistic John McCain like views of our world/future, it does not strike a deep chord in me because it is not my livelihood.
Plus, it is hard to reason or convince a crazy ranting old man. Maybe Will should have asked him for some of his Prozac.
I just find the whole thing shocking and amusing but not in a good or bad way. I have no idea if that makes any sense.
Taking Dickinger's advice, I will refrain from writing any more on this blog until I finish the W.C. Heinz columns that I am going to read tonight on microfilm at the city library.
Screw watching the Wizards elimination game as my whole existence as a sports "writer" depends on ingesting Heinz's literary wisdom.
I hear Horse Racing and Boxing are popular.
Props to Zubaz Pants Sports for creating the video.
Will Leitch's final thoughts about all things Bissinger on Deadspin and here is video of Will's appearance on Best Damn Sports show.
