Deadspin: The Book
I woke up this morning at oh-dark-thirty to find a Borders Rewards 40% off coupon in my email. They routinely email coupons, none are higher then 40%. When I get one, I try to get over to Borders to use it.
I also learned today that Will Leitch, editor of the sports blog Deadspin wrote a book, God Save the Fan.
It came out last week, but I didn’t learn of it until today.
Deadspin is for people that enjoy sports, but despise the ESPNization of sports. People like me. I first learned of Deadspin from reading a blog post written by fellow Hagerstown blogger Jennifer Benningfield at Trapper Jenn DC.
The book retails for $25, but thanks to my coupon I got it for $15 and some change.
While standing in line at Borders, I flipped it open and on the the first page I went to had a photo of ESPN blow hard Chris Berman sitting on a sofa with a bunch of strippers.
I just know I’m going to love this book.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This book looks interesting. Let me know if you like it.
I love it so far. It’s like it was written just for me. Do you read Deadspin?
Turning someone on to the glory that is Deadspin is justification enough for my li’l nest in the ‘Net. Heh. Glad to do it!
I didn’t get the chance to use my 40% coupon, so I’ll have to make do
with the 30% off with a $10 purchase one when I head out Friday. I expect nothing but brilliance from this book.
No, I don’t read Deadspin. Is it a blog?
Yes, it’s a blog. It’s a sports blog.
I like the posts about funnybooks way, way more. Long live funnybooks!!!!
Funnybooks have been giving me a headache lately.
