]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> Before blogs, in the '80's, Bill Russell actually wrote a column for The Seattle (the whitest town you know) Times. It wasn't even about sports. It was about current events, and it was good.

Hamilton Nolan

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @allyzay: I was, too, for the first 200 columns.

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: i guess it's a bit like watching a train wreck? that's why i've been monitoring his recent columns at least. i figured he'd have a complete nervous breakdown when the pats lost. apparently, just "bronchitis" keeping him in bed and away from everyone in the world's "18-1" taunts.

i'm with him on referencing the karate kid though.

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @allyzay: I hate to admit, I click on his column, too. Perhaps its morbid fascination? The fact that it is somehow possible to recycle Karate Kid and 90210 references, mix them with thinly-veiled racism and nostalgia for the Celtics of the 1980s and produce a pretty successful writing career blows my mind.

I also appreciate how you corral all the straights on one place so I know where to direct my flirting. hamilton_nolan: gawker tested, supergoddess approved. wait! what happened to your underscore???

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: seriously his last column starts off with this line:

"The Patriots may not have made history, but I managed to make history of my own this week: For the first time in the history of this column, I was bedridden with the flu and bronchitis for three straight days."

O RLY HOW FASCINATING. he gets paid for this yet i've got to have a real job on top of my blog. i can make up fantastical gibbering claims that i was going to have a threesome with tom brady and gisele in their hotel room in phoenix if the pats won too!

that man boils my blood. yet still sometimes i click his column.

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @TheHonJudgeSmails: or anything by that midget Lupica. Guys who wanted to be athletes but instead are short are the worst sports writers... and by worst I mean all of them.

]]> <![CDATA[An Inessential Guide To Athletes In Blogland]]> @allyzay: It's better than a lot of sportswriters' regular columns. Like Bill "The Sports Guy" Simmons', for example.
