No one sits on top of the Internet heap for a long time without some re-invention. I think you're going to see lots of larger blogs quietly snapping up new writers. Look at Lozo going to SBB on some weekends, or the army over at AA, or Daulerio now at Deadspin, or Cousins of Ron Mexico starting to write weekday posts for TBL. The writing's on the wall; consolidation is the wave of the future in sports blog land. If my little blog move doesn't work out, down the road you might just get an e-mail from me asking to join the Brigade.MCBiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158534411541450613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388572537156739169.post-7647780344061182462008-03-13T21:23:00.000-07:002008-03-13T21:23:00.000-07:00It's easy for me to say this now but....you could ...It's easy for me to say this now but....you could kind of see something like this coming. I either read/heard one of Mr. Leitch's interviews regarding his book/Deadspin and he talked about an upcoming Deadspin backlash taking place much like people began to turn on Bill Simmons. The best way to keep all of that at bay is to bring other writers into the fold and have Mr. Leitch back off a little bit, even though he is an excellent writer. It's just how things work. I think the next six months will be interesting as Deadspin begins to evolve more than ever. Just my thoughts, could be way off.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09588168584127417327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388572537156739169.post-77208498469637986062008-03-13T14:09:00.000-07:002008-03-13T14:09:00.000-07:00Absolutely, EP!

AJ is actually one of the few writers in the sports bloggosphere who could have kept Deadspin.com's view numbers so high, which is why it made so much sense to me that if Will stepped down, AJ would be a replacement. <BR/><BR/>I was surprised more people didn't note your comment, Ian. I wish I would have e-mailed Will first instead of rushing to post, but I wanted to at least mark my territory with a speculative post so I could claim first rights to the story if it were true.MCBiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08158534411541450613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388572537156739169.post-4515901804314138632008-03-13T12:44:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:44:00.000-07:00Thanks for noticing.
