This week’s Blogs With Balls Show on the JoeSportsFan Radio Network is now available.

Download Episode 15 Here.




Our guest this week is The Big Lead's Jason McIntyre.

TBL's combination of news, opinion, media oversight, and pop culture has enabled Jason to position it as one of the most popular independent sports blogs on the web, and parlay it into a full-time career - with a little help from the likes of Jason Whitlock and Colin Cowherd.

He talks about the site's creation and growth, his personal background and the role it's played in TBL's success, and addresses the online tit-for-tat that comes with its success.

In a nod to the site's marriage of sports and entertainment, we've Skyped him up with "Name that Celebrathlete."

ESPN's Greatest Fear Realized

Earlier today at Shutdown Corner, MJD made a compelling argument as to how safe a gun makes anyone, using Plaxico Burress' situation as an example. I would extend his argument and say now we are all in danger, because now we have the sum of all fears: Armed sports bloggers.

Nestled in at the bottom of a Plaxico post on The Big Lead, I noticed a "full disclosure", that is unsettling at best.

* Full disclosure: After years of being completely anti-gun, we flip-flopped and bought a gun several months ago. Mostly as a hedge against armageddon. Enter laugh here. No carry permit yet.

Katie bar the door, them bloggers has guns. The ironic part is of course strapped sports bloggers will clearly lead to said armageddon.

And TBL, I'm pretty sure you don't need a carry permit for a Maverick, so you can probably take that thing out whenever you need to.
