[…] So, on a completely *cough* different *cough* sidenote, I think we might need a new tagline. Ian suggests “Detroit Bad Boys: As always, one step ahead of the local media.” I’m thinking “Detroit Bad Boys: Where the local media gets their Pistons fix.” […]

[…] Last month, I posed the question: does the mainstream media steal from blogs? On Wednesday, ESPN Radio’s Colin Cowherd answered with an empatic “yes,” lifting almost word for word a fake Wonderlic test from The M Zone, a Michigan football blog. By now, Deadspin, YAYsports! and countless others have weighed in. I’ve already talked about this type of stuff much more than I’d like to, but it’s yet another example of how those in the mainstream media1 often misunderstand, look down upon or generally take advantage and appropriate material from those who write on the internet.

[…] First, DeadSpin linked to it, which creates an avalanche of traffic (not to worry…BfloBlog has the best of hosts, so no server issues). Then other bloggers fed off the story, which created some very intelligent talk out there. It even got linked by Boston Sports Media Watch, which has a reputation for bringing down a media member or two. […]

Great column! Raptors fans are well aware the Steve Buffery at the Toronto Sun steals ideas from HoopsAddict.com, Raptors HQ and RaptorBlog.com and never gives us credits. It’s incredibly frusterating!
