Mag blogger interviews mag writer about blogging
I met Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio at ESPN's NFL kickoff breakfast Tuesday, which was a bit of a shock given the less-than-warm-and-cuddly relationship Daulerio's predecessor, Will Leitch, had with the ESPN p.r. department. (Not to mention a frosty relationship between ESPN p.r. and Mr. Daulerio himself.)
Nice to see the Bristol Stompers reaching out like this, and realizing it's better to offer influential bloggers coffee and a Danish than it is to feud with them.
Speaking of Leitch, here is a link provided to you by a mainstream newspaper writer who also does some blogging in which Leitch is interviewed by a blogger associated with a 122-year-old magazine for which Leitch, a sports blogging pioneer, now will be writing a magazine column of some sort.
I'm out for a few hours. I'm getting dizzy again.

"it's better to offer influential bloggers coffee and a Danish than it is to feud with them."
I agree with you.
However, AJ Daulerio is not an influential blogger. He's a gossip columnist that virtually nobody reads.
Leitch is part of the new Sporting News. His Bartman piece seems like it has been in cob-webs and is Bill Simmons-lite. But I really dug John Feinstein getting the back-page. Officially the best back-page now of the sports magazines.
