When a Writer Leaves ESPN, the Big Loss is Twitter Followers
NFL: Remember ESPN’s much-ballyhooed NFL blog rollout in 2008? There’s obviously been some turnover since then, but recently one of their most prominent bloggers, Matt Mosley, vanished. This week, he re-appeared at Fox Sports Southwest. The funniest part of his return was acknowledging his new job cost him about 27,000 followers on twitter. It looks as if he’d like to get a message to all NFC East blog readers at ESPN. So pass it on. It doesn’t look like ESPN has hired a replacement yet.

LOLing at @TheBigLead Who hasn’t had a Percocet and gone out drinking?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:18 PM
I don’t know if one can find a better definition for ‘sheep’.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:19 PM
It should be noted that former ESPN bloggers who lost twitter followers do not move the needle.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:19 PM
cj, lesley visser was never pretty
March 29th, 2011 at 2:20 PM
i wonder if TBL’s writing will change now that he’s a dad. TBL Jr. will be reading these someday
March 29th, 2011 at 2:20 PM
CJ, you went to college, didn’t you?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:22 PM
Did this before going to a Notre Dame game a couple years ago, really helped hold the buzz throughout the game…highly recommend it
March 29th, 2011 at 2:22 PM
I don’t think I’ve ever had a Percocet. Adderol and drinking, yes. Are you day drinking on kid duty, TBL?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:23 PM
I’m of the opinion that if a percocet doesn’t knock you on your ass you may be highly susceptible to developing a drug/alcohol addiction. Percocets make me nauseous. No way I’m mixing that with booze.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:24 PM
Xanax and drinking will make a 5 hour plane ride feel like 38 seconds.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:25 PM
i’ve always been to scared to mix pills and booze
March 29th, 2011 at 2:25 PM
Or maybe I just know how to party
March 29th, 2011 at 2:26 PM
What the fuck is wrong with all you pill poppers?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:27 PM
for my money, there really is nothing better.
and you won’t remember any of it. xanax = instant blackout
March 29th, 2011 at 2:28 PM
I have a serious fear of flying so the Xanax is a must. The Adderol was a college study drug. It’s college, you experiment with different things.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:29 PM
I took adderal everyday my junior year because of my ADHD. It was fucking awful, but it did boost my GPA.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:30 PM
I mean seriously. What the fuck ever happened to good old fashioned alcohol?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
yeah seriously.
And SC if you’re seriously so afraid of flying that you need Xanax and alcohol just to get on a plane maybe you should see a psychologist.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
My perception is this is a newly created account. Didn’t follow him before, but did he have ESPN in the twitter handle? It’s not like a bunch of people jumped off of him just because of the move. They just need to follow a new account that he just started.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
CJ, relax, we take pills, drink vodka and it good times…I call my friend Yuri and he hook us up, no problem
March 29th, 2011 at 2:31 PM
SC isn’t kidding, I took a Xanax once just messing around I woke up on the couch the next afternoon wondering where the hell I was and how I got there.
/recommended
March 29th, 2011 at 2:33 PM
Flying is the world’s safest form of travel…I know SC hates STATS! and all but knowing that is a calming influence
March 29th, 2011 at 2:33 PM
Count me as someone who didnt mess around with pills. Especially mixing them with alcohol. Did you have a death wish?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:37 PM
Drinking on a plane > taking pills on a plane
/truf
March 29th, 2011 at 2:38 PM
Where do you think the pills came from?
March 29th, 2011 at 2:41 PM
pain killers are awesome, and they make drinking more fun. highly recommended.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:47 PM
I’m saying you need to be seeing a psychologist on a weekly basis. Not one that just prescribes pills when you’re going to fly.
March 29th, 2011 at 2:54 PM
CJ, relax, we take pills, drink vodka and it good times…I call my friend Yuri and he hook us up, no problem
Nice.
March 29th, 2011 at 3:22 PM
Live a little, CJ, liiiiiiiiiive.
March 29th, 2011 at 3:27 PM
always have at least two jack on ices when i fly
March 29th, 2011 at 3:27 PM
Drinking up front > Drinking on a plane > taking pills on a plane > Snakes on a Plane
To insinuate that EVERYONE has tried popping pills before drinking is pretty regoddamndiculous. Just drink all your beer and you’ll be fine.
/or, just take 4 benedryl…
March 29th, 2011 at 3:29 PM
Haha
