I know it had more text than a usual Big Lead post but I thought you made some good points. <br /><br />Cowherd and Bill Simmons can act like there is some similarity in those two events but really as Martin said, it was the bully getting punched back. It doesn't shock me those two are not worried about the actual chronology, and most of the people who listen to the podcast won't worry either, but that's the luxury they have of being the big guy.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-39120630536846784292009-07-12T15:57:01.347-04:002009-07-12T15:57:01.347-04:00As the writer of the post: Thanks for picking up o...As the writer of the post: Thanks for picking up on it, and especially for picking up on the chronology of the TBL/Deadspinnage.<br /><br />You make some excellent points.Andy Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573263861831252292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-37894364395277662412009-07-12T13:46:55.223-04:002009-07-12T13:46:55.223-04:00He does make it seem like the Big Lead incident ha...He does make it seem like the Big Lead incident happened after Simmons comments got sort of hijacked. That couldn't be more wrong. <br /><br />Some of the comments that were made were over the top and really stupid but what do you expect when people have 6 years of pent up anger and feedback to give Bill. It was Cowherd who struck first, as the bully, and the Deadspin commenters no matter how weird they were commented on Bill's stuff. <br /><br />I just love the idea there was a double standard in play. I don't think that is the way it is at all really. A lot of people didn't cheer the Deadspin thing, but there was also no directive from Deadspin to crash Simmons' comments. I love the "we are all sports fans" plea from Simmons. He just hates the idea people don't like him. I think it drives him crazy.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-22034633965423868152009-07-12T11:55:33.018-04:002009-07-12T11:55:33.018-04:00They were both fun posts. hehe
Also, if you notic...They were both fun posts. hehe<br /><br />Also, if you notice, Bill phrases it in such a way as if to make it sound like Deadspin his his comments first, then Colin did the thing with the Big Lead.He says "all of a sudden" Colin was the bad guy, after talking about how the Deadspinners took down ESPN. The truth is that the Commetariat went after tWWL AFTER Cowherd took down the Big Lead in retaliation as much as anything else. It took a couple days for ESPN to come up with sufficient response, and it was actually the first subject that the Ombudswoman addressed. Not only did bill miss the entire picture of what was going on, but turns it around to make it seem as if there was a double standard. No bill, it was people cheering on someone who punched the Bully in the nose after he pushed down the crippled kid for his lunch money.<br /><br />He's such an asshat.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-10996559840351130212009-07-12T10:43:58.437-04:002009-07-12T10:43:58.437-04:00Fred, bury it.
