PODCAST: ON THE DL
Drew Magary – aka Big Daddy Drew – joins the show to talk about his book, his website(s) and what it’s like being funny.
We talk about the many jobs Drew has, from his day job in advertising to Kissing Suzy Kolber to his work with Deadspin and his book. All while having a family.
We talk about the Buzz Bissinger situation. Buzz blurbed Drew’s book, so we get the scoop on how that came to be. We also talk about how something as simple as starting a sports blog can make you relevant. If you’re good at it.
We get in depth about how the collaborative that is KSK works, and if he’s ever read anything from someone else that made him want to take it down. We talk about his lazy writing style and how it does take a long time to, in fact, come off that lazy.
Drew’s upcoming book is a handbook for athletes. And it’s funny, from what I hear. We talk about the process of writing the book, and if he has anyone to bounce ideas off of, or if he just crosses his fingers that readers think what he’s written is funny.
Then, as he IS a football writer, we talk about the NFL. What are his thoughts on Tom Brady. What does he think of the Ocho Cinco situation and this unravelling Vince Young situation. And we talk Karma, with Shawne Merriman, Al Davis and the Pats.
We end with a nice rip on the Vikings and some more hilarity from one of the funniest guys in the blogosphere.
