CBS Sports Fooled by College Message Board Trolls

An article by TJ Corbs Corbs, which a source in-the-know tells us is a fictitious and satirical author on Bleacher Report (a content partner with CBS), was featured On the main page of the CBSSports.com college basketball page.

The article essentially was about how Seton Hall should be kicked out of the Big East. Granted, it is positioned as editorial, but the fact of the matter is that the piece was written as a ruse...for no other reason than to incite Seton Hall fans.


Evidence of this can be seen by simply looking at the VU Rivals message board.

Clearly, Wildcat fans are in on the joke. Comments include:
  • TJ Corbin is a compelling journalist. His career began 2 days ago and already he is an internet sensation.
  • Buzz Bissinger's head would explode if he knew about these journalistic shenanigans.
  • Remind me never to go to cbssports for sports news.
  • Can someone post this link on PirateScrew?
  • Finally broken through. This is an unbelievable development - one that we will look back on in ten years as a major accomplishment.
  • Thats unbelievable. CBS sports is a joke.
  • it's official - reliable, credible journalism is dead - long live the internet where fans can author articles made from whole cloth for no reason other than to tweak fans of rival teams
  • please make Providence your next victim - a buddy of mine went there and it would make my year

Blogs With Balls Radio, Episode 27 (We’re Back)


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

Download Episode 27 here, or subscribe via iTunes.



Hot damn! It's been a while! Not since Amy K. Nelson told us how lame we were have we been able to get a podcast in.

We blame, of course, BwB3...a great success if we do say so. Don't take our word for it, ask this guy. And these folks.

Our guest this week is is the VP of Business Development at BleacherReport.com, David Nemetz.

B/R kicked off the BwB3 experience with a bang, hosting our kickoff party with flowing Guiness at The Fifty/50. David was then a member of the Localization panel at the main event, and we expand a bit on that conversation.


Since its inception, Bleacher Report has gone through a number of tweaks and facelifts, none more significant than the recent addition of Brian Grey, formerly of Yahoo and Fox Sports, as their new CEO.

We talk with David on a number of topics pertaining to B/R's position in the industry, its benefits to its members and where it goes next.
