Recalling Colin Cowherd’s ill-advised attempts to shut down The Big Lead, the card-carrying Mensa members at Kissing Suzy Kolber have proposed other web outlets they’d like to see obliterated (“there are a whole bunch of shitty ass sites out there, some of them downright fucking infuriating. So let’s use this draft to select a few we’d like to see fall victim to a deadly server hamster mass genocide”). Captain Caveman aka With Leather’s Matt Ufford (above) selected The Big Lead.
“What’s to dislike most about The Big Lead? Is it the Jackie Harvey cluelessness? The ironic attempt at credibility while staying anonymous? His admission that he puts less effort than he used to into writing posts so that he can churn out more of them and increase his traffic? Nah, I’m gonna go with the final ‘question’ from his interview with Chuck Klosterman: ‘Tell us something interesting’. That site is an insult to people who think.
Though I’ve already slapped the Jackie Harvey tag on Sports By Brooks multiple times, I can only presume Ufford thinks it’s far better to remain anonymous in this glorious field. I’m not quite sure how With Leather’s attempts to generate traffic are any less cynical or more thoughtful than those of TBL, it would be nice to know what really touched this whole thing off. You’ve all seen what happens on bad TV comedies when two girls turn up at a party wearing the same dress. Apparently, things can become just as heated when two guys upload identical Scarlett Johannson pics to their sports blogs.
The big lead is a joke. What happened to Kelvin sampson being fired a week ago friday? They are uniformed and try to be edgy. That site is nothing more than a link dump. If you dont like Ufford just say so. Have some nuts
The F word is just so hilarious KSK! The P word is also pretty funny, because on more than one occasion they have plagiarized off of other people from the internet. Keep bringing the “funny”, morons.
Dan,
if The Big Lead is a link dump, what exactly is With Leather? A link dump with slightly more T&A?
If TBL blew it on the Sampson story, well, he did eventually get canned.
As far as not liking Ufford…exactly how many times would you like me to say it?
(no nuts before dinner, thanks)
You sound so bitter. I bet you wish that you could be as successful as Ufford. You sound like a cranky ex.
YO GC U GUNNA BE @ BLACK LIPS 2NITE BRAH?
Yes, Jason, people were imitating Rex Grossman yearsss before KSK thought of it. Continue to harp on people who run the site for no reason other than to swear a lot and write angrily.
Is that really Dickey Simpkins? I love your work. You’re the thinking man’s Corie Blount.
Also, anyone who knows Gerard knows that the sort of success — not just financially, but artistically — that Ufford has enjoyed with his blogs is out of his reach, due to Gerard’s crippling agoraphobia. You may not like his work, but even though GC may never accomplish anything on the order of what Ufford has already done — i.e. two identical blogs and some appearances on FoxNews — at the very least GC can now mow his lawn without breaking out in hives. If you can’t salute that, then you can’t salute, period. Mow on, GC, and don’t let the haters hold you back.
