For someone who is all about being respectful about reporting sports news, Buzz Bissinger came out firing on Costas' Now last night. He showed no respect for Will Leitch, and actually what I see is fear from Buzz about his job security and/or the future of his business. Well, he made his concern for the future pretty clear.

I think a great sports writer will always get readers, regardless of us blogging or not. We get a lot of our info from these sports writer and then write our views on the issues. Most of us obviously don't have the inside access to the news.

Sports writers should learn to adapt to the times rather then fight the times. Take a page from the music industry and the issue of downloading. Learn to make it work for you rather then try to work against it.

With that said, stick to writing Buzz, you do a great job at that, but lets avoid TV appearances.

I think Will did a great job, given the fact that Buzz gave him no chance to respond until Costas has to mediate.

Poor Braylon Edwards, he had to sit through this. Well, on second thought I don't feel that bad for him. I can't feel bad for anyone who went to Michigan. Vomit.
