Mottram Rules
« Previous EntriesThe Future of Blogging Is Born
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008If you keep up with us here on Mr. I, then you probably knew that Jamie was expecting his first child. Well, she hatched yesterday at 11:53 AM and is listed at 8.5 pounds, 20 inches. Her name is Elly Grace Mottram, and because I don’t trust half of you weird fucks, I won’t post […]
Bloggers Are Going Bat-Shit in the Bronx
Monday, July 14th, 2008It’s tough deciding which blogger-in-the-Bronx is doing a better job so far: Chris Mottram for The Sporting Blog or Kevin Kaduk for Big League Stew. Both work for big media, so each is afforded the opportunity to go to New York, and both are directly connected to yours truly, so each is of the lowest […]
Happy 4th of July From Bobblehead Otis
Friday, July 4th, 2008Due to 11 people getting hurt last 4th of July, my hometown of Vienna isn’t having fireworks and is having a laser light show instead. So, basically, my hometown is extending a middle finger to America, which is righteous. Almost as righteous as laser lights themselves, which sound trippy, man.
Also, smurphette suggested that posting more […]
The Blog Show Two Reunite ‘On the DL’
Friday, June 27th, 2008If you can handle Dan Steinberg and I talking about ourselves, Blog Show, Wilmington, Cooley vs. Arenas, The Big Lead vs. everybody, blogs in general, Hitler, ESPN.com, the Olympics and so on and so forth for almost an hour, hit the latest On the DL podcast, where host Dan Levy serves up the program in […]
Greetings From Port City
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Apologies for the silence since Blog Show went bye-bye. I’ve been moving from D.C. to Wilmington, so all of our edgy, outsider-y content now comes to you from the great state of North Carolina. What does that mean for you, dear reader? Well, thanks to the interweb and DirecTV, not much. What does that mean […]
Happy Birthday, Chris, You Filthy Animal
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Christopher Andrew Mottram was born 26 years ago today, one day prior to the start of Cal Ripken’s consecutive games streak. As a good older brother, I celebrated by ensuring that the first 13 years or so of his life were a living hell (hence the Anger!), but he has since won me over. So […]
In Which I Do My Best Leitch Impression
Friday, May 2nd, 2008It’s been said before that no one is better at shameless self-promotion than the Brothers Mottram. Whoever said that is an asshole 100% accurate. So, in that vein, here is me on Sporting News Radio this morning (as I am every Friday at 9:05 ET! Tune in!) discussing Bissinger, Costas, Wilbon, blogs, etc. Oh, and […]
Yeah, I’ve Got a Perfect Bracket. Jealous?
Friday, March 21st, 2008Thanks in part to D.C. Sports Bog’s tips, Chris’ Sports Blog’s advice and KenPom’s stats, I now, for the first time ever, am in possession of the perfect bracket following Day 1 of the Tournament. True, I only picked one kinda sorta upset — 11th-seeded Kansas State over 6th-seeded USC — to get there, but […]
