Bissinger vs. Leitch (and the Internet)

I’m only the 5,000th blogger to mention this, but Deadspin’s Will Leitch was on Costas Now last night, where Buzz Bissinger (author of Friday Night Lights) absolutely went nuts and on a tirade against Leitch and the Internet.

YouTube pulled the video, but Deadspin still has it up.

Leitch could’ve done a better job of defending himself, but it’s good that he didn’t lower himself to the level that Bissinger did. I actually enjoyed Buzz’s book, but I think a whole lot less of him now after watching this. Bissinger seems to think the Internet is the root of all evil here.

Here’s Will’s reaction.
