stop the circle jerk

At what point in the short history of sports blogging did it become acceptable and trendy to start interviewing one another? Not that I am complaining, well actually I am, but these interviews do bring back fond memories of when the MSM did the same thing. Who can forget the time Frank DeFord interviewed Peter Gammons? Man, that was good stuff. And remember that crazy interview that Jason Whitlock did with Mike Lupica? Bet they'd like to have that one back!

I mean who doesn't want to know the inner workings of a guy who posts on announcers and broadcasters. The announcers and broadcasters aren't the news, the guy who blogs about them is!

And we were all just chomping at the bit to get an inside look at the guy who writes a football blog for ESPN. Shit, T.O. and Randy Moss aren't stories ... The guy who writes about them is!

Even better, we were all dying to know the secrets held inside the mind of a female (a female!?) baseball blogger? Man, I am so glad we got to the bottom of all that. I am just surprised the Associated Press didn't pick that story up, it's such a scoop.

Bloggers ... get over yourselves. The next time you see Rick Telander interviewing T.J. Simers, then you can feel free to start interviewing each other. Until then, let's remember that you are not news (or interesting).
