Companion Reading
The podcasters discussed the articles and topics listed below during the HEATcast.
- Clipper Darrell's Betrayal... of the Clippers by Bitchass Bill Plaschke
- Corporate Heaux Bloggers vs. Fanalytical Bloggers
The Corporate Award
“A CHB, much like a fanatic, is about what they can get. Instead of autographs and courtside seats, its money from teams/media corporations, media credentials and access to players over intelligent and free thinking analysis.”
These bloggers put the "Corporate" in Corporate Heaux Bloggers:
- Brian Windhorst for leaving Cavs to join ESPN’s Heat Index and then covering Cavs’ 2012 draft from their war room
- Truehoop Network
- @SherwoodStrauss
The Heaux Award
“Corporate Heaux Bloggers are also ones to generate a large portion of their site traffic using TMZ rumors and naked men/women, many of whom have ZERO relation to the sport(s) that said blogger is covering.”
This pimpin' ass blogger put the "Heaux" in Corporate Heaux Bloggers: Black Sports Online.
The Blogger Award
“I compare Corporate Heaux Bloggers to fanatics, they aren’t *necessarily* the most knowledgeable, analytical, but they do what ever it takes to get the most page views and, in turn, generating a huge revenue stream. They, in a sense, sell out their knowledge just to receive thousands upon thousands of views.”
These thirsty bitchasses put the "Blogger" in Corporate Heaux Blogger:
- @SherwoodStrauss
- Hardwood Paroxysm: Last season, they sponsored the Miami HEAT page at basketball-reference.com just for pageviews. ‘Nuff said.
- Zach Lowe Tries to act like he’s not a Celtics fan now that he blogs for Sports Illustrated
- Bleacher Report
- Chris Broussard
