Idiots Write About Sports

I admit I am still steamed about being called a mean blogger, along with the misrepresentations of the rest of the blogging world. I shouldn’t be surprised when old media lashes out at things they don’t understand. (Full disclosure: I actually work for a company that publishes a fairly large magazine, so I realize it’s hard for such places to embrace the web… but, guys, you’ve gotta embrace it or die…) And it still pisses me off that Dave Albee, in the same breath as chastizing a blogger for ripping Joe Ayoob (who is, after all, just a college kid), off-handedly ripped Justin Vedder (who was, at the time, just a college kid). Pots and kettles, both black.
But enough of that. It’s time for me to calm down and go to my happy place. In fact, it’s a happy place I even blogged about.
It’s Section FF, about 20 rows up, at Memorial Stadium. September 27, 2003. Late evening.
