I’ve never been so infuriated by words from another guy like Buzz Bissinger.
We missed the live edition, but I urge you to join me in watching Costas Now (if you have HBO) because it involves the state of sports media, the rise of internet blogging, and the rise of sports radio.
I say this because apparently last night, writer Buzz Bissinger just went on an all out assault on Will Leitch of Deadspin fame. He discredited everything blogging and questioned his 40 years of writing experience, when a blogger on Deadspin used the word that rhymes with ”runt”.
Bissinger also called out Leitch, saying he was “full of sh*t”.
He just went off, and Leitch did not bite back, which I applaud because that would’ve meant more fuel to the fire, considering that Costas and Bissinger were talking about the mean-spirited tone of the internet.
I’m happy that Leitch didn’t walk off the stage looking at some footage that spilled over to the world of video sharing. It was just a horrible display, and Bissinger is probably not going to be called Buzz Bissinger from now on.
If more videos show up I will post them.
