Apparently, I'm sportsblogging now too. Odd turn, that.

Guess I was naive to think you'd be blogging forever. Good luck young Will.

loved the book, thanks for writing it.

buzz bissinger came off as a profoundly unhinged cross between david mamet and andy rooney. i hope someone sends him a copy of your book.
is there such a thing as a 'book on vinyl'?

I'm really enjoying "God Save The Fan," but I'm afraid Patty Smyth (and, more alarmingly, her husband John McEnroe) would like a word with you regarding "The Warrior":

Hey, you know what's a good book? Friday Night Lights. Really showed some insight into the human condition. Guy who wrote that must have a level of insight, a degree of introspection, that would make him really interesting to talk to.

Wonder what happened to that guy?

I'm dying to know: Is Buzz Bissinger just as bitter and unlikeable in person as he seems on television? Here's to hoping he didn't try to sucker punch you backstage.

I saw your book review in Playboy (My boyfriend is a life-long subscriber). You got 3 bunnies!!!! Love It!

So I'm looking through an abandoned copy of a recent issue of ESPN the magazine and I spot a little insert of ESPN/BORDERS It is a list of the top 10 best selling sports books at the moment. What do I see at #5, Standing out from the rest of the list in bold red letters no less,
God Save the fan.
The Gods of ESPN must have kicked a puppy after having to print that. Or at least go watch a cockfight.

3 things:

1.) Excellent book
2.) Disappointed that there was no Austin, TX book signing
3.) Am currently watching CNN and they had a live look in for the Giants Super Bowl parade. The song being played at the time in NYC? Journey - Don't Stop Believin!

Dear Mr. Leitch,

I wanted to make sure that I came by to say hi and to thank you for the comment and for making me a part of your community and home away from home here on myspace.

I love Deadspin, and if I can do anything please don't be afraid to ask.

Will, the chapter on the espn marathon was fucking brutal. In other news, I lent my copy to my manager. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Jan 28 2008 7:40 PM

Christ Will, I can't thank you enough for dedicating a whole chapter to how much Peter Angelos fucking sucks. Fuck that guy, Stupid Fucking Angelos.

Congrats on the book, Will. It's fantastic.

Does the Rick Ankiel restraining order put a cramp on locations for the St Louis after party?

Best of luck with the book...I just happened to find deadspin while surfing the web, and I must say it's a relief. Thanks a mil! I can't take the Salisburys of the world, not to mention those 2 scary talents, Mike and Mikes.
