Another chapter in the erroneous report that the Patriots videotaped the Rams walkthrough at Super Bowl XXXVI came about today from the Boston Herald beat writer who penned the  story, John Tomase.
In my post earlier this week I questioned the reality that some reporters rush to judgement on stories in this 24/7 news cycle we […]

The business world is now part of the 24/7 news cycle. The wealth of business information has spawned the creation of niche business beats, especially across the Internet. Sports business reporters are now more prevalent, with leagues and their teams controlling billions of dollars of revenue. How they spend their money is news.
More and more […]

If you believe image is everything, then you’ve got to love the work of Paul Lukas, the author of Uni Watch on ESPN.com and the Uni Watch Blog.
Paul writes daily on the aesthetics of athletic uniforms and equipment.  His blog is one of my personal favorites…and I appreciate him giving us time to discuss his […]

It’s been a while since we’ve had an interview.  It’s also been a while since we’ve done a podcast.  So let’s do both!
Following our review of God Save the Fan, Deadspin’s Will Leitch was kind enough to fit us in during his busy interview schedule promoting the book.  Here’s our talk…

Our criticisms of Deadspin I […]

Sports writers come in all shapes, sizes, and styles.  I’ve been a big fan of Pete McEntegart at SI.com soon after I was introduced to his The 10 Spot column earlier this year.  McEntegart mixes sports news with his wry wit to produce some entertaining work.  McEntegart can now be found at The 10 Spot Blog on SI’s FanNation.
Thanks go […]

In the days when newspapers were king, sports fans took to their local rags to take in all they could about their teams.  There was little to nothing on television, the sports radio format had yet to be pioneered, and the Internet didn’t exist.
During this time fans poured over the game stories, box scores, columnists, and the latest […]

What’s it like to work in the sports media circus that is New York?  Even better, what’s it like to write about those who cover sports in New York?
I was able to connect with Neil Best, sports media and business columnist for Newsday,  Best has been on this beat for a couple of years, earning […]

I’ve always been intrigued about the work people do to create and maintain their blogs.  Like me, most of these bloggers do this on their spare time.  Juggling work and family many times puts what I do here on the back burner.  Beleive me I wouldn’t want it any other way.
When I visit some of […]

There is more to sports media than reporters.  There are hundreds of people who work for professional teams and collegiate athletic programs whose job it is to interact with the press in support of their organizations.
I have always felt that handling the press needs for a NCAA Division I program is probably one of the most demanding […]

I try to read as much from the sports media as I can.  In fact, if you feel there is someone I should be reading on a consistent basis, please, let me know.
While reading a column a few weeks ago I was introduced to Jerry Brewer of The Seattle Times.  Brewer is the cousin of […]
