Bob Costas responds to the Rabble! Rabble!

Feel free to ignore this post if you're tired of the Bissinger-vs-Blogs debate.  I was tired of takling about it, but then Bob Costas spoke to TV Barn...

Buzz realizes that he did a disservice to his own points. On the other hand, if fairness prevails — which on the web it often doesn't because people are coming after whoever the villain-of-the-day is with torches and pitchforks — but if fairness prevails, you keep in mind who he is and that more than outweighs a subpar performance on his part.

Not to hammer too much on this, but a lot of the response hasn't been that he did a "disservice" to his points, but that his points are silly.  The whole idea of holding a random comment against a blog as a whole (as Costas did) is ridiculous, and that had nothing to do with Bissinger's "subpar performance".

To quote South Park:

Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!

Expect the "rabbles" on this thread to grow in the next 24 hours. I'll wait to give my opinion until someone asks for it.
