Completely Irrelevant Post

Rob wrote a piece on Bob Costas' HBO Special on Sports and the Media a little while back, which I also got a chance to watch, and I thought the whole discussion was definitely a necessity to say the least. Will Leitch was the resident blogger, who apparently was responsible for defending the entire "blogosphere." As a side note, what Will Leitch does is very different from what we do at Maize and Blog, in that he does very little link gathering and sports opinion forming from a point of access. Instead, he uses his access to talk about things often non-sports related and he uses his lack of knowledge to post Facebook pictures of athletes doing things on perhaps the one day of the week where they are not working out, with the implication being that they drink with women in hot tubs during the day, everyday, rather than working out. But that's neither here nor there. The point of my post, if you're curious, is that Deadspin wrote a piece on the team that I work for during the summer, so check it out if you're interested by clicking here. My response to Deadspin's post can be found at SaintsBlog.
