SBJ reported it as fact as soon as it could. As did other outlets, b/c "news" came from a credible source. Judgement call. Blazing Saddlebags, You're totally right. Unlike political and entertainment media, which features huge indie bloggers, sports is diff. b/c there's a monopoly. ESPN has no interest in promoting indie blogs, why would it? And when it has no competition, it doesn't have to report any material scoop an indie blog may have. ESPN decides what's important and what isn't important. But make no mistake, blogs do have an influence on what's reported out there. Just not credited. If you were in the biz, you'd know that. Reality of the situation. Doesn't bother me, I've got a great gig and enough people know about SbB to keep it going forever. But that's why so few sports fans have ever heard of ANY sports blog out there. The monopolistic nature of sports media. Doc,

Blazing Saddlebags,

You’re totally right. Unlike political and entertainment media, which features huge indie bloggers, sports is diff. b/c there’s a monopoly. ESPN has no interest in promoting indie blogs, why would it? And when it has no competition, it doesn’t have to report any material scoop an indie blog may have. ESPN decides what’s important and what isn’t important.

But make no mistake, blogs do have an influence on what’s reported out there. Just not credited. If you were in the biz, you’d know that.

Reality of the situation. Doesn’t bother me, I’ve got a great gig and enough people know about SbB to keep it going forever.

But that’s why so few sports fans have ever heard of ANY sports blog out there. The monopolistic nature of sports media.

I love reading blogs as much as anyone and have gotten some great stuff but there does need to be some form of journalistic responsibility, too.
