Hello, Internet users. Checking KSK on a Saturday? That means you probably like sports blogs a little too much. And if you like sports blogs too much, then you should get your tickets to the Blogs with Balls 2.0 conference in Las Vegas next month as part of the BlogWorld & New Media Expo. It’s like ComicCon — but less cool!
Anyway, I’ll be joining Amy K. Nelson, Kevin Blackistone, and Bethlehem Shoals on a panel called “The Future of Sports Media” that will be moderated by Dan Shanoff. If you missed Blogs with Balls 1.0, then you missed some amazing rants by Shoals. Expect more of the same this time, with the added bonus of me naming specific bloggers and mainstream writers who are awful, just awful. Then I’m going to spend the rest of the weekend drinking and gambling with our very own PUNTE, depraved “liberty risk” A.J. Daulerio, whirling dervish of humanity Spencer Hall, and others. Finally, as a service to you, dear readers, the following week I will NOT write a 5000-word column about how, even though my friends and I are older, we still magically summon the power to get drunk and have fun in Vegas.
Should be fun. Join us. Buy tickets here, and buy them now — prices go up on September 14th.

That’s some serious chest hair coming from Spencer!

Did you ever think when you started this site that one day you’d be on a panel in Vegas?
Interestingly, to look, that will take a place there.
Uhhh….wasn’t the point of all this blogging bullshit is to NOT take yourselves seriously? Honestly everyone in that video came off like every damn Tarantino interview ever…ooooh I’m cool…I dont really give a shit other than the fact that I totally give a shit and want every critic to jack me off just once more…honestly…douchebag stuff…and I sit here saying: “Willy hears ya. Willy don’t care.”
Is Gary Vaynerchuk supposed to be some kind of blogging tough guy? I don’t know who the hell he is, but his tough guy act kinda made me want to rape him. Then choke him. Then put him in a trash bag.
Is that wrong?
Coincidnetaly, I’ll be in Vegas that weekend….
$250 to see 30 year old man-boobs at BWB.
OR
$250 to see 18 year old tits at Sapphire.
If you want to find me, look for the drunk guy at the sportsbook/craps table.
Will Leitch is the Gerry Cooney of blogging.
I’m not sure that’s fair to Gerry Cooney. He’s more like the Rosemarie Clooney of blogging.

So which brain-damaged, washed-up blogging “legend” will be the greeter at this shindig?
It was the only way Leitch could go.

Check the roof of the Grand for footsteps falco.
I would hardly call a circle jerk an “Expo.”
thats a steep price for those tix. i’d rather blow that money gambling then do my best wedding crashers impersonation.
So what percentage of the hundreds of dudes there took a pass at either Julia Roy or Hannah Patrick?
/Had to watch twice to get Hannah Patrick’s name.
//Visited undercurrent.com thinking it’s a sports blog.

Hey, look, I might be wearing the same shirt as Schlubby Commercial Guy in that clip.
Um, well, yes, I love KSK a little too much, but I’m also at work.
Somebody please rip on Jerry Jones at the conference. Sober debate or drunken ranting, I don’t care, as long as someone mentions what a tool he is and ridicules his love of gigantic TV screens.
I’m going to Vegas to shoot craps and discharge firearms in the direction of my own feces.
The last thing on my plate is to watch Shanoff jerk off Kevin Blackistone.
Interesting!
No wait, what’s that other word… tedious.
Maybe not “really interested”, but at least “kind-of interested.” Well, maybe just being polite…
Hey, I thought you looked really interested in what Shanoff had to say in his drunken ramble. HBS!
Being in close proximity to Kevin Blackistone is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. Not to say that any of the Around the Horn regulars would be pleasant to be around, but Blackistone was always a special kind of annoying, and the voice has a lot to do with it.
