We Sports Bloggers Should be Ashamed of Ourselves

For some reason, entertainment site TMZ broke this story and not one of the millions of sports blogs.

In fact, Sports Illustrated’s Jimmy Traina found it and put it up on Twitter just before 2 p.m. today. How nobody in the sports blogosphere found it nor managed to get a picture is beyond me.

What am I talking about? Apparently ESPN’s Erin Andrews was hit on the chin by a line drive during last night’s Dodgers-Mets game. Of the thousands of fans who were there, how did this escape the attention of fanboys who most certainly were in attendance at Citi Field?

Apparently Erin is ok. Yes, you can all start up the balls-to-the-chin jokes. I know they’re coming.

I’m still baffled how TMZ broke this before any of the sports blogs did. Crazy.
