Sports blogger/insufferable blowhard blames sports bloggers for everything

Occasionally glancing at such junk through the years, I was whisked into a cross between a frat boy's porn fantasies and a sports remake of "Revenge of the Nerds.'' Who were these geeks? Why was the Internet, once again, giving semi-lives to people with no lives? Didn't it make a supermarket tabloid look responsible and dignified by comparison, or at least until the New York Post crossed every line imaginable? And wasn't there bound to be a cyberspace version of a nuclear explosion, a boiling point where one of the frequent blog subjects became a victim of some sick act?

A second-guess, this is not. I've been saying it for years. And sadly enough, I've feared it would involve Andrews, whose only sin is being good-looking and blond on a powerful television network watched predominantly by sports-and-female-loving males. Am I blaming sports bloggers and their commenters that a very disturbed person secretly videotaped Andrews as she was standing nude in her hotel room, then posted the five-minute video on the Internet? No, I am not, even though the video was posted under the title "Hot naked blonde who looks a lot like a sports blogger favorite in her hotel room.'' But am I blaming bloggers for helping create the daily sex-and-objectification culture that turned Andrews into an ongoing peep show on their Web sites?

Damn right I am.


-I'd like to speak on behalf of the entire internet by saying---Jay Mariotti, you can just eat our asshole.

I blow hard, but I am not insufferable.

Not to diminish the sex-and-objectification issue but SEC Media Days kicks off today (7/23) in Birmingham. (1000 requests for press credentials, you in C.B.?)
With any luck someone will peephole cam an old fat guy and post "Old fat guy with small penis that looks like a sportswriter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution nekid" and this whole thing (no pun intended) will blow over.( I do find myswelf somewhat empathically conflicted know Ms. O'Brien is a Florida Alum, but I digress.)
And...in the immortal words of Bobby Petrino, Head Coach at Arkansas, "When you look at what Bama did last year and who they have coming back they have to be considered the favorite in the SEC West."
Carry on.

Cajun, this is off topic but I am surprised you haven't blogged or weighed in on the Gates/Obama incident.
