Subject: Mediaite’s Top 25 Sports Bloggers, Writers, and Tweeters
Hey there,
I work with Mediaite, and in preparation for our new sports site, SportsGrid, we compiled this list of the 25 best sports bloggers, writers, and tweeters that we thought you might be interested in:
http://www.mediaite.com/online/sportsgrid-presents-the-top-25-sports-bloggers-writers-and-tweeters/
It’s not really in any sort of discernible order (although some on the list are designated as “starters”), just our 25 favorite “shapers of the online sports narrative.”
Here’s the list:
Drew Magary (Kissing Suzy Kolber, Deadspin)
Gregg Doyel (CBS)
Mortensen and Schefter (ESPN)
Stephanie Wei (Wei Under Par)
Bill Simmons (ESPN)
Will Carroll (Injury Expert)
Joe Posnanski (JoeBlog)
Jason Whitlock (Fox)
AJ Daulerio (Deadspin)
Dan Shanoff (danshanoff blog)
Grant Wahl (SI)
Ives Galarcep (Soccer by Ives)
Brooks, (SportsByBrooks)
Jason King (Yahoo)
Will Leitch (The Sports Section)
Katie Baker
Spencer Hall, Holly Anderson, Doug Gillett (EDSBS)
Jason McIntyre (The Big Lead)
Eric Stangel (@EricStangel)
Dan Jenkins (@danjenkinsgd)
Old Hoss Radbourn (@oldhossradbourn)

El Pres Response
Hey Asshole,
You may want to redo your list so you don’t embarass yourself.
Sincerely,
largest independently owned sports blog on the planet….
I love it. Just when I think society can’t get any dumber we get an email like this. Some baffoon sending a press release wanting coverage from us about the top 25 best sports bloggers/writers in the world and we’re not on the list. Hey whatever floats your boat. If you think Rany Jazayerli from Rany on the Royals is better than all of our writers than so be it. But what I wouldn’t do is send us a fucking email rubbing our faces in it. That’s how a dumb motherfucker gets blown up. Because no offense Leah, but I don’t give a shit about you, your pussy little research firm or your precious little list. So why don’t you do me a favor and go fuck yourself. How about that?
PS – I admit I should have sent a better response to Leah, but Kmarko forwarded this to me and I just shot back without thinking. It was like a knee jerk reation before I even knew I was going to blog it.
Old Hoss Radbourn (@oldhossradbourn)
Betcha Hoss brings it!!
largest independently owned sports blog on the planet….
Just spit Red Bull all over my desk – posts like this are classic. You should post at least one absurd email you get every day, never gets old.
You’re not a sports blogger. Take a look at your posts. You have American Idol, elephant/dog, and teacher sex scandal on today. Throwing a comment in about hockey doesn’t make this a sports blog.
By the way, Dan Shanoff’s inclusion on that list is a joke. Shanoff is awful.
The list was a complete joke as soon as I saw Doyal’s name.
whats up with the emails today on boston and new york stools…haha nino24 nailed it, please post more emails like this hahahaha
Pres,
agreed your blog is the best blog going but, do you really think this is a sports blog anymore? dont get me wrong, im not trying to bash you at all but how many blogs about sports go up on a daily basis?
youre not ken pomeroy?
No this is a American idol blog now
You probably would’ve made the list if you had kept chat roulette Wednesdays.
does magary talk sports with deadspin xy? nope
Katie Baker owns you
i love this shit. freckles….pipe down.
“Just spit Red Bull all over my desk”
Now that’s classic!
Drinking Red Bull and sitting at a desk. . . Gen X’ers are crazy beeotches.
I thought this was a G.T. A. Blog?
my bad, i didn’t even read the list. lesson learned.
PS is the term “my bad” still okay to use?
quick scan but looks like @50% of material today was sports oriented (included the wii clip)
rest was mostly t&a so I think he’s doing fine
Freckles,
What are you new here? When April 4th hits the calendar you’ll realize this place is a a major player in the sports blog world.
Pres,
Instead of telling Leah to go fuck herself you should have told her to blow you cuz clearly you’re losing the bet with the First Lady.
“Note: if you are not a fan of the gratuitous use of sports puns when arbitrarily ranking bloggers, TOO BAD, because we’re going to the hole until the fat lady sings.” That’s on her book “report.”
I found this on her twitter..”im guessing there were no postpubescent women present at the naming of the iPad.”
That dildo’s lucky she doesnt have a facebook that I can find…bc i will stalk her, and i will kill her. Little fucking twat.
Why would they even send this email, what were they looking for from you?
Magary is a published writer and he talks about poop basically every day.
I’d let Siobhan Magnus sit on my face anyday
How the FUCK is “Old Hoss Radbourn” on this list and Barstool not? And, who is Katie Baker? I think I went to high school with that slut.
Awesome
Man, everything’s personal with you dude. They just blasted this out to a bunch of people…..I agree, if anyone had given it 2 seconds thought they would have realized it’s insulting but they didn’t, don’t take it as such a slap in the face. And these responses you send…. I know you think you’re jabbing them in the eye but I’m sure it’s a quick delete for them. They could care less.
Thankfully you didn’t send “baffoon” in your response to her since the word is buffoon. Unless you’re calling her half baboon, half buffoon…I actually like it if that’s what you were doing.
How do they judge the top 25 anyways? traffic? Poll? Revenue? Seems like a pretty debatable list. I mean I am a huge soccer fan, and I rarely go to soccer by ives.
Oh hey Leah – why dont you take one step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
fuk our new compliance software. blocked nyc barstool. saving grace: boston passed the sweep
Nice work Mitchell 12 hahaha
Leah I’m incredibly busy so why don’t you get the fuck out of here before I snap your dick off and stick in your ass.
broadstchamps : Dude ame thing here! It comes up as: tasteless
WTF
Is there a way around that? There’s gotta be some computer dork who knows how to that. looking on my phone sucks ass
By “all our writers” do you mean you and Jerry?
Gorge- don’t try to find a way around it so not worth it as it probably records every time you go there as is, and you don’t want to be jobless in this economy like I am!
Hey wicked,
yeah I take things personal bro. What are you new here?
brady, pretty sure Kmarko and KFC count no? After all this was sent to them
Hey Prez, how is that over/under on Celtics season wins treating you??? I forgot what the # was at
I used to read Deadspin everyday and now I just go on to look at the failed hook ups on Fridays.
That site is starting to blow. El Pres you got a good thing going here. Who cares what this Cunt has to say. She was probably pissed you posted that picture of her cankles in those timberlands the other day.
maybe theyll expand the list next year so everyone gets their name on it.
celts were 57.5
they have to go 20-3 to make it happen.
so, Lets go Siobhan
Seeing those Blog sites up there reminds me of how many Butt-fucking losers there are in America, they probably all read Bill Simmons book
Seriously, who reads 700 plus pages of suck
That list sucked air, why’d you bother to respond?
Sorry EP the last thing I would have thought to call them was “writers” but I get your point.

Sweet baby Jesus in heaven above. How in the world do you make a list like this and leave out Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports? Even if you only did the top three list, he should be on it. You don’t see Rany Jazayerli (wasn’t that the Indian guy from Office Space that worked with Michael Bolton?) doing Chat Roulette in a tux. This list is the worst fairy tale since 4th grade when I only read the first 3 chapters of “Where the Red Fern Grows” and waxed poetically about how the dogs lived to a ripe old age in harmony with the raccoons of the woodland. I will let you take this list home and turn it back in on Monday.
But why did you promote their site on both NY and Boston sites? You should have ignored them.
looks like leah went to Yale. obviously not the smartest one there.

Obx,
I don’t give a fuck. Do you think I give a fuck what I post? I write how I feel. That’s what makes the stool tick
Yawn. Internet tough guy routine is old hat. Congrats for calling a new college grad an asshole and beating yourself off. Big fish small pond
routine?
Pres, offer Drew Magary some donuts and get him on your team …
EP + Big Daddy Drew = internet domination
Sports Blogger??!?! Didn’t know Siobahn, I’m a Motherfucker
The Situation, Teacher predators and random dudes asking you about your tux was classified as sports blogging…
I’d classify this as human FAIL blogging…When someone screws up and its on video or pics – you got it nailed brotha!
side note: you’re turning into the Omar Little of the blog game. just walking around with your shotgun, firing at anyone in the game. Fucking sweet.
P.s – those of you who dont know who Omar is … fuck yourself
Grab the torches and pitchforks and follow me to Abrams Research HQ!
Not sure you could “shape an online sports narrative” that is funnier than this comments section if you tried… A true testament of the power of the Stool.
Leah. What a maroon.
El Pres – can you please bait them a little before going right to code red?
FUCK YEA! BITCHES AIN’T GOT SHIT! these assclowns are asking to get Pearl Harbored
Eyyyyyyooooo!!!!!
Pres… you are a very funny guy, but I have to say, you got an even better eye for talent. I have to say kmarko may be the funniest blogger known from barstool. great pickup.
El Prez: “Just when I think society can’t get any dumber …”
So ho’s dumber, some puzt who sends an unsolicited e-mail message (which cost him absolutely nothing to distribute) to ElPrez encouraging him to publicize a list of the 25 best sports bloggers, writers, and tweeters to Prez’ vast worldwide audience or El Prez, who goes ahead and introduced this list of competitors to his audience?
This, combined with Prez’ earlier posts about advertising agencies makes me shudder at the notion of his business plan — most likely written in crayon on a Happy Meal place mat.
Hey prez don’t lie you dam well know u didn’t send that email like that bahahahahahha
elpres, please get Leah as a cohost on the powerhour, she is much funnier than Elio as we can clearly see
Some people just don’t get it I guess.
Are we really worried about EP’s business plan? Just let the kid do his thing. I don’t know if the angry guy thing is an act or what, but it’s funny, and that’s all it needs to be. EP’s instincts are always spot on. He gets what his readers are in to. Everyone I have introduced to the stool is addicted to it.
Wicked Mr Pickett, you correcting EP on his spelling just shows what a db you are. Prez’s crazy spelling and random spacing are part of what makes him awesome. GROW SOME CLUE
