Blogger Interviews: Semi-Rare and Ultra-Sleezy
Many months ago the thought struck me to start a series called Blogs on Blogs whereby I’d interview a preferred blogger once per week or month or whatever and post the conversation. Kind of like what The Big Lead does with big media types, but with bloggers. Anyway, my first subject was all set to be the incomparable Wizznutzz. I approached them about it, they agreed to do it, I sent them some questions, they never answered and I forgot about Blogs on Blogs altogether.
That said, I’m envious of Zach Landres-Schmur over at The Big Picture who has picked up the torch when it comes to blogger interviews and just posted his latest, a friendly back-and-forth with Matt Ufford of With Leather. It’s an interesting read for anyone who has or at least frequents a sports blog and a bore for anyone who doesn’t. Here’s a favored excerpt:
6. Dream job? Go.
Does Scarlett Johansson need a breast polisher?
Seriously, I've got my dream job. Although if it were a better dream I'd be making a lot more money and have a book deal.
Yes, that right there is Mr. Ufford at the Deadspin birthday party. He is a sexy, sports coat-and-tee wearing bitch. Speaking of Deadspin, Will Leitch sat down with John Rocker and the results are fantastic. New York’s favorite pitcher speaks out(!) on race, religion, politics and John Schuerholz, whom he completely rips into. My favorite part is when Rocker admits to only being 70 pages deep into his book, which is piss poor considering he was two chapters into it during his guest appearance on SBL nine months ago. Must be a real doozy.
Update: I completely forgot to mention Low Post's NBA blogger interviews, which I've been following with great interest.
Full disclosure: Fortunately for me, both Zach and Matt write for FanHouse. You can find their stuff here and here, respectively. However, Will continues to reject my advances.
Furthermore: I would've included that Matt also writes for Kissing Suzy Kolber, but they're absolutely clubbing me in the Best Sports Blog voting and I'm not handling it well.
