Buzz Bissinger Thinks You’re Full Of Shit
May 1, 2008 by Chris
Methinks Buzz is just angry and he doesn’t really know why. Other blogs have written far more eloquent pieces, so I’m just going to post the video and simply state that ‘Buzz’ (really? Buzz? REALLY?) doesn’t understand the difference between a commenter and the guy who writes the blog posts. He also doesn’t understand crude humor, snark, or sarcasm. That may be part of why he sees such a problem with so much ‘vulgarity’ and ‘dishonesty’ and ’speed’. People post their reactions to events and to other people’s opinions. Some blogs are better than others. Blogs have different missions. Some are poignant, some are funny, some seek to open dialogue, and some are just an outlet for somebody with opinions. Many people writing for blogs are smart people with *GASP* journalistic backgrounds. Hell, some newspapers actually embrace blogs and the internet. Imagine that.
Methinks Buzz is just angry. Angry that he is no longer the ‘voice’ of the fan and that he has to share that with, well, fans. Angry that there’s this ever-growing segment of people that won’t just lap up and take as gospel whatever he and other columnists write. Funny thing is, he has written some pretty good, if sappy, stuff. He just sounds bitter when he tries to rail against the ‘degradation’ of society while he is happy to throw out multiple curse words and character assasinate someone else in the process. He doesn’t want blogs to do that though; leave that job to the experts who’ve spent years perfecting their craft.

And enjoy Buzz weirdly attacking someone on the radio. How vulgar. <– Ha, see what I just did right there? Tearing down, not building up!
