Bissinger… and catching up on some links
2 May 2008I don’t live in my parents’ basement, and I maintain this site only because I enjoy the outlet. If in some small way, my existence makes life a little harder for sports journalists, so be it. I try to be fair, but this site is mine and I’m free to say what I feel. With that in mind, let me just say this: Buzz Bissinger was a huge jerk on Bob Costas’ show. Joe Posnanski recaps the circus quite well.
* ESPN The Magazine has written an open letter to Barry Zito. Pretty funny stuff. But Max Klinger is significantly more optimistic than I am about Zito’s chances of rediscovering his confidence.

* I’ve been mentioned in two more Jayson Stark columns, here and here.
* And finally, this guy imitating 1980’s players batting stances may be the best thing I’ve seen in a long time…
