Buzz is Back!


Buzz Bissinger is back!  He still believes blogs are "malicious and cruel."  He "apologizes" to Will Leitch in the passive voice.  He advocates a sportswriter-led coup d'etat to rewrite the constitution.

But the best part of the Boston Phoenix article that features Buzz's antidemocratic ramblings is not the text, but the fantastic illustration by Rob Zammarchi that accompanies the piece.  From this photorealistic picture, I learned two things:

1.  You can tell a blogger by the swarm of disembodied team logos that flutter around them demanding to be licked

2.  Sportswriters receive all of their hot tips from a horde of talking carrier pigeons, who in exchange for information demand tasty buttered popcorn
