This confrontation between Deadspin’s Will Leitch and old school writer Buzz Bissinger is making the rounds in the sports blog world. The old media folks just don’t come off well. Calling interesting media “mean” is just such a crutch.

Oh, Buzz, is there anywhere you go where you don’t piss people off?
I met Buzz when he was following Coach around for his book Friday Night Lights. (Yeah, I grew up in Odessa, TX, explains alot)
The guy spent 2 years kissing every ass he came across in that town so he could write his books exposing it all.
Hyp-o-crite.
The trashy way he gets his material is way worse than the blogosphere.
