Buzz Bissinger: One angry man

he told me that I wrote for an "endless blog"

I still don't know what that means

 

I think it means that you're writing a novel. Or something like that. No need to worry, rookie.

John Feinstein writes an "endless" blog himself and I have yet to see Buzz take a shot at John.

 

I think it means that he can see the end for newspapers, magazines, television networks, etc., but not blogs.

Take it as a compliment.

 

I wonder if that includes the book biz as well. That's in his wheelhouse.

 

That's Norman Chad's job.

i agree that his book is easily the finest sports book of the last 50 years.

that said, since his tiff with leitch i've always thought he fancied himself as a modern day charles bukowski, which is just wrong. how great would that be if bukowski was still alive and tweeting today.

 

let's not get carried away. Twas a good book, but here have been many great sports books over the past 50 years.

 

I'm a younger guy and I loved watching him trash Leitch. Deadspin's pseudo-celeb tabloid-trash bullshit sports coverage should be the bane of every journalists existence.

 

Really . . . not to mention that BB's another guy (Exhibit A: George
Won't) who got sucked into the LaRussa hero-worship horseshit.

 

It's a great book. I don't think it touches Season on the Brink or Ball Four. I liked Leahy's book on Jordan better. I'm sure there are plenty of others.
