If you had to pick between Balls Deep, Jambaroo or Fun With Peter King which would say is your favorite one to write?

Also, how hard was it deciding that it was a smart decision to leave your "real" day job and focus full-time on writing for Deadspin and KSK?

How does the staff come up with those insane "For Your Consideration" topics? Is everyone on drugs or is it more of a Family Guy manatee scenario?

Also, who the fuck banned the Reposted Avenged Sevenfold commenter? That person was doing God's work.

Sorry but I just totally disagree with this sentiment. There are plenty of humorous and interesting NBA bloggers out there that don't just lean on analytics or breaking down tape. The Basketball Jones and the whole Score blog, Ball Don't Lie, some of the writers at SB Nation.

And frankly, I think the NBA blogosphere could do without the hundreds of guys trying to copy Bill Simmons. 6-7 years ago when these blogs were just getting started and it was cool to comb through the internet to find new stuff it was fun to read articles comparing Wire characters to NBA superstars or the 400th Shoals article comparing Gilbert Arenas to the moon landing. Those who don't have the capacity for satire or jokes shouldn't waste time with it.

And it just seems kinda mind-boggling that someone would say the baseball blogosphere is full of lighthearted whimsy.
