This brainless wonder appears to have stolen most of his content from Deadspin, which takes some SERIOUS balls, since Deadspin is owned by Gawker media and gets so many hits per day its servers sometimes crash.
I guess the guy figures they won't miss a few of them, or a few of the bucks he's making off THEIR content via his advertisers (and as for those advertisers...my disgust leaves me speechless).
Check out his astonishing email exchange with an MVN blogger, in which he justifies ripping off Deadspin because they "voluntarily" put out an RSS feed of their content--and all he's doing is "syndicating" them. He even ripped off a post about how his blog is "filthy and stealing".
What a douchebag. I hope he gets sued.
Definition of an idiot. The subject of your post. My goodness!

Ahh... Beth you get all the love. Sidekick, plagiarist, Jose is so jealous. Needless to say he took on the issue today.

You weren't but you have been before. Jose can't get into Sidekick. It's because he's too real.

yes, but i don't get love in the boston phoenix.
i feel like this is turning into an episode of "you da man--no YOU da man". ;-)
however, it should be noted that i actually know ppl who read the boston phoenix of their own accord, whereas i know of no one excepting bloggers who have been clipped there and said bloggers parents who actually read sidekick...
