Blogs With Balls Video- Jonathan Tannenwald, Philly.com
Another member of the mainstream media at the Blogs with Balls conference was Jonathan Tannenwald of Philly.com. Here is our conversation on what he hoped to get out of the conference…
Tannenwald had quite a bit more to say about the conference at Philly.com. Here is his review of the conference. Here are Q&A’s with organizers Chris Lucas and Dan Poiva of HHR Media. And one with Deadspin editor AJ Daulerio.
That’s all the video we have from Blogs with Balls. Overall it was a wonderful opportunity to network with other bloggers and to learn from those who have been successful in making writing online their passion and profession. It was well worth the trip.

Blogs With Balls Video- Neil Best, Newsday
Members of the mainstream media did have a presence at the Blogs with Ball conference. One of the columnists who understands the role of sports bloggers is Neil Best, sports media columnist for Newsday. Here’s our talk…
It’s apparent that Neil understands the evolving trends in technology and sports reporting and has done his best to adapt to them. He’s one of the good guys. Thanks again Neil!
Blogs With Balls Video- Ken Fang, Fang’s Bites
Here is my interview from the Blogs with Balls Conference with Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites…
In terms of the lighting issues we faced, this interview was the best of the bunch. Thanks go out to the Blogs with Balls television crew who happened to be filming in the area and added the extra light.
Ken has become a good friend of SMJ. And what I said at the top of the clip is true. We both live in Rhode Island, less that 25 miles from each other. It’s probably not a stretch to say that the Ocean State has the highest number of sports media bloggers in relation to the size of their home state than anywhere in the country. Thanks again Ken!
The Convergence of Blogs and Mainstream Media Continues…
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio dropped what might be considered one of the bigger sports media bombshells this past week, announcing that his site would be joining, on a formal basis, NBC Sports.
Mike Florio represents the sort of middle ground between mainstream media outlets and blogs that is slowly emerging as more prominent blogs begin to receive more widespread recognition and acclaim.
With his content now contractually under the NBC masthead, I guess you could say he’s permanently joined the other side.
