Hearing Shout Out Louds -- 'Tonight I Have to Leave It'
Mr. Irrelevant Has Moved and Improved
After three and a half years, MisterIrrelevant.com has moved and added another writer in the manly form of my brother Chris, who's like me except young and funny. Head over there for the Mottram brand of blogging, but, before doing so, say goodbye with highlights from the 1,257 posts made here over the past 40-plus months:
Breaking News -- Let's not kid ourselves, I never broke any news, although I'm especially proud of the Duke cheer sheet and Arenas flipping off Pierce (scoops!). I also posted those Leinart party pics just six minutes after Deadspin. Story of my life.
Sports Bloggers Live -- AOL's first podcast and our labor of love for two years, it started as Pigskin Bloggers Live and ended with infinite sadness, but it did springboard FanHouse and, in some ways, Blog Show. Plus, I interviewed Mike Tyson face-to-face. Clinton Portis, C-Webb, Bill Simmons and various NFL stars, too. Reggie Jackson went crazy on us and Ron Artest rapped to us. We even made an SBL video. It was grand.
Experiential Stuff -- My favorite posts are those retelling the games and events I actually got off the couch and attended: the Nats first night in DC, the George Mason-UConn classic, the '06 NBA Draft, Gilbert's 25th birthday party, a random Wizards game, etc.
Kicking Television -- Thanks to SBL, I made monthly appearances on Cold Pizza (now First Take) for three minutes of "blogger buzz" with my good friends Dana Jacobsen and Jay Crawford. The clips are out there on the tubes somewhere if you want to laugh at me. I was also on the Today Show for like three seconds, which made the women in my life swell with pride.
Navel Gazing -- Aside from nonstop FanHouse touts, I posted bloggers' top 40 athletes, named the 20 most influential sports bloggers, listed the top 10 sports blogs, attended DC sports blogger happy hours I, II and III and partook in the NYC summit, which was one for the annals.
Blog Show -- I love working with Steinz and Littles on this thing, and I hope that three years from now it's as ubiquitous as any other late night sports program that people watch only when they can't get to sleep. Here's a link to the best of our first 10 shows as well as the Blog Show drinking game.
To anyone reading this, thank you for making it this far. I appreciate it and hope you come hang out with us over at the new site.
