Kyle Gets Contrary: Should Bloggers Be More Like Newspaper Columnists?
Now that I’m starting to get a little attention for getting contrary, it’s time to tackle a question that may get me in trouble with some of my colleagues. SB Nation’s Nebraska blogger corn blight recently wrote in defense of Stampede Blue’s Big Blue Shoe, who was the target of this criticism from...
The hostility of the old guard
I try not to beat this to death here, as I am far inferior to others who have made the same points more effectively elsewhere, but traditional media organizations and many of their employees just don't get it: the more they fight people-powered media coverage, the more they lose. The last time...
Banter topics, some of which are related to KU sports
Just some random banter topics to give us things to talk about. Crimson and Cream Machine published a story about the greatest KU alumni to play in the NFL. He thinks John Riggins has an edge over Gale Sayers. CCM also took Chuck Woodling of the LJ World to task for bringing up an old...
Talking points: fake names and blurred lines in media
Quickly this morning . . . There appears to be no new news on the Brent Vinson/Ramar Smith couplet of police investigations except that Wes Rucker at the Chattanooga Times Free Press cites "several close to the program" as being concerned that the two incidents are connected. I don't like the...
Does My Real Name Matter To You?
A few days ago, one of our SB Nation bloggers got called out in an article by Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star. Kravtiz made fun of our blogger for using the name “Big Blue Shoe” as opposed to his real name on the Indianapolis Colts website "Stampede Blue", which he runs . Later,...
A final word on Bob Kravitz's hatred of blogs
I hope you all enjoyed Friday's little sissy slap fight between "weenies" like myself and bitter old men like Bob Kravitz. In the end, like all arguments I have with unreasonable people, the overall discussion descended into a "You suck! No, YOU suck!" fest, with Kravitz and his colleagues using...
Bob Kravitz hearts Stampede Blue, calls me and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban "weenies"
For three years, I've called Indianapolis Star columnist Bob Kravitz all kinds of names. I've called him a "turd", "ass", "idiot", "stupid", "uninformed", "snarling", "crotchety", "dimwitted", and "incompetent." I think it is fairly safe to say that we, as a community on Stampede Blue, do not like...
Where I stand on the 2008 Colts thus far
We aren't even at the halfway mark, and if you talk to some Colts fans they will tell you they've given up on the season. For them, 3-4 now will likely result in a Wildcard spot in the playoffs (if the Colts are lucky). For them, that's lame, and they just don't think a team like that is worth...
Peyton Manning: Old Man?
via z.about.com Bob Kravitz has an article up discussing 10 years of Peyton Manning in the NFL: Has it really been 10 seasons? How is it possible that Peyton Manning, now 32 years old and entering his 11th season, is really on the back-nine of his Hall of Fame career? Wasn't it just 10...
Colts Links: 5/9/2008
The Chicago Tribune has an AP story up on rookie TE Jacob Tamme and how he and Tom Santi will change the Colts offense: Most scouts graded Tamme a better receiver than blocker, not surprising for a converted receiver, but that's part of the reason Tamme was still available when the Colts picked...
