It's The End Of Sports News As We Know It

The end, it starts with sports bloggers,
Innocent in intent from their mother's basement,
Fans with keyboards, always sowing discord,
Writing anything they darn well please,
Rumors, gossip, truth is a toss up,
Churning out news with relative ease,
Anyone can do it, nothing really to it,
Let your opinions go,

It's the end of sports news as we know it,
And all the blogs are the bomb that'll blow it,
It's the end of sports news as we know it and that's just fine,

But then we learn they've got readers,
Loyal and devoted, the printed word's eroded,
Bye bye bookstores, newspaper dinosaurs,
Going the way of the magazines,
New innovations kill publications,
That a teenager's never seen,
Cause they get sports news, formulate their views,
From an uncensored source,

It's the end of sports news as we know it,
And all the blogs are the bomb that'll blow it,
It's the end of sports news as we know it and that's just fine,

What's left? an angry beat writer,
Pounding his typewriter, pulling an all-nighter,
Trying to get his story printed before he,
Hears his scoop's out on the net,
As soon as it debuts, everything's old news,
Yesterday's headlines we forget,
Pretty soon his paper's gonna be a vapor,
Ancient history,

It's the end of sports news as we know it,
And all the blogs are the bomb that'll blow it,
It's the end of sports news as we know it and that's just fine,

Without a web of sports bloggers,
We couldn't get perspective from someone not protective,
We'd get a box score, just a little bit more,
Couple of quotes from our favorite team,
Newspaper writers are turning into fighters,
To keep the bloggers off mainstream,
But bloggers are funny, they're making lots of money,
Might as well join 'em now,

It's the end of sports news as we know it,
And all the blogs are the bomb that'll blow it,
It's the end of sports news as we know it and that's just fine ...
