Think of Will Leitch as the Jon Stewart of sports. As the founding editor of Deadspin, he presides over the most popular sports blog on the Net. Every day, the web site, which bills its offerings as "sports news without access, favor, or discretion," delivers frank, hilarious opinions about sacred-cow athletes, owners, coaches, and the "profundity" of ESPN sportscasters. While others are worshipping NFL gladiators and "genius" coaches, Deadspin contemplates the underbelly of American sports, dispensing scathing opinions about overblown player egos and management platitudes. In God Save the Fan, Leitch gambols and rants about topics including, but not limited to, football ratings, fantasy leagues, meaningless debates over steroids, and sports bars. Even more fun than a tailgate party.
