Junkies Set to Ruin MASN Blogging Credibility
You gotta love mainstream media. They try so hard to catch up to new and exciting things, and just haven’t figured out that they look like absolute morons trying to do it.
That’s what MASN has done by signing up the Junkies to be their “official bloggers.” That’s right. The most non-entertaining, non-insightful, non-influential radio show in the Baltimore-Washington sports region now has a web platform to prove what can go wrong when too many arrogant white folks have too much time on their hands.
We don’t need to go into what makes them lame, how lame you think they are, and how lame this blogging venture is going to be, but let’s suffice it to say that MASN has made a huge mistake putting these guys on the roster. Or maybe they haven’t. Maybe MASN anticipates just how aggressive online readers and commenters can be, and look forward to the spike in page views when they try to bombard these clowns on a daily basis.
I’ve listened to the show all of twice, and found myself more than amused that Howard Stern doesn’t collect a royalty check from these buffoons every time they hit the air. There’s something to be said when the most redeeming aspect of a show is a commercial break.
They are closet racists, no-so-closet homophobes, and likely wouldn’t bust a grape in a wine-spilling competition. But beyond that, how can you trust a group of guys who inadvertently learned the meaning of satire just last year?
I won’t even say that this will end poorly. I’m willing to bet that one of three thing will fizzle out the Junkies/MASN blogging partnership. In no particular order:
1. The intern that will do the writing for them will have to return to high school after winter break.
2. They will each, in unprecedented fashion, forget their login names and/or passwords on a regular basis.
3. John Thompson will take out his whupping stick on all four of those suckas.
And even if they do fall into some form of Internet fame based loosely on the thousands of fans they have in the area, I would venture to say the odds are still against them in the blogosphere. Well, actually, two odds and myself, but I’d put my money on those two odds in a heartbeat.
May the Mayor of FedEx have mercy on us all.

The fact that you even mention the biggest douche in the history of ‘Skins fans makes me have to ignore everything you wrote before it.
Seriously? If there is any one form of media that lacks any semblance of credibility, it’s the blogosphere. Case in point, your blog.
A “fresh” perspective, as you so put it? Hardly. We know you’re trying to show off your oh-so-acerbic wit; unfortunately you fall flat on your face. In fact, your commentary comes off as vitriolic and petty rather than clever, as you had hoped.
Your approach is formulaic and tired; post some random, snarky comments in an effort to generate enough traffic to try and make some money off your banner ads. Which incidentally, take up almost as much real estate as your actual content! Nice. Perhaps if you gave two shits and started to put some real effort into your posts, you might actually offer the slightest modicum of insight and/or humor, as you claim to do.
It’s funny that despite your railing of the Junkies, they remain infinitely more entertaining, insightful and influential than you.
Funny how you blast the junkies for being non-influential when you run a blog nobody’s ever heard of, that from a quick look has no comments on any stories except this one….
@ TheSpecies – Bet you five dollars you can’t find the word “fresh” anywhere in my post, which goes to show your level of comprehension is the opinion you draw from a few lines of reading. As for banner ads, that’s more so the page is not empty. The real money is in text links, which you see very few of. And finally, I don’t think it takes much wit to say the Junkies suck. Why waste the effort when they don’t care to?
@lol – And yet, you clearly found me via a link on another blog, and decided to personally reverse the trend of no reader comments?
I don’t recall saying that it was in this particular post, do you? No, I was referring specifically to the language on your “About” page:

So perhaps before belittling my level of comprehension, you should take inventory of what you’ve previously written.
