Kerry Eggers writes for the Portland Tribune. He’s written some books on the Portland Trailblazers. He loathes blogs. “Anyone can sit at home with their computer and write and consider themselves an expert while they are out there in the world having people read their stuff. They lack accountability and credibility as well.” Six months to a year ago, this is the kind of dim-witted misinformation that might have angered a blogger who came across it. No more. Blazers’s Edge, with the surgeon-like precision of Fire Joe Morgan, dismantles Eggers’ half-baked theories, line by line: His paper has hired a blogger and is looking to hire more; Eggers just last week wrote a navel-gazing column about how he can no longer play pick-up basketball, but he wishes he had played with Charles Barkley; Peter Vecsey of the NY post recently admitted to preferring to watch games at home rather than at the arena; and it goes on and on and on. Beautiful stuff.
