Another Blog Steals CursedCleveland Idea - but Leaves Out Humor


Part of me is outraged, part of me humbled, part of me was just desperate for blog material; after a number of concerned e-mails directing us to another site, it appears that a blog named The Sports Hernia has stolen our Roasting Mike and Mike premise, and made it unfunny.

Now technically, their post was titled "Lame Jokes to expect at Mike and Mike," and the setup is that the writer's strike has left nothing other than hacks to craft the jokes - but I don't think it's a stretch to assume that the heading is an advanced justification for some bad material. It's kind of like your friend doing a hacky impression then prefacing it with, "OK guys, I don't want to overhype it, and I'm probably going to botch this...etc."

The worst part of all of this, is that Deadspin ran with their version after ours had already been completed and submitted. So you could easily say they're an accessory in this crime against originality and humor (kind of like Carson Daly). But I'll be honest, the Hernia did have a good Bill Walton line, which was NOT stolen from me (yet). I mean this author is so bad, he steals from Carlos Mencia....

Make sure to check out this post in about a week on the Hernia, our new sister site! Just shameful - not that they would steal from us, but that they would even read our site to begin with.

I wouldn't pay much attention to them, they wouldn't even go with a Sean Taylor joke. What kind of blog wouldn't even go there?

Wow, interesting.

The first time we've been to your site was today, when a commenter mentioned your post.

But we're impressed with how much credit you're giving yourself.

"But we're impressed with how much credit you're giving yourself."

That's what we have to resort to when nobody else does.

i hear there's a potential merger in the works with your site, CC? any validity to this rumor? i also heard the two new merged staffers would look to demand majority control. again, any truth to this?
