Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post) and Marc Tracy (The New Republic, Jewish Jocks)
On Critic Proof, Alyssa talks to Marc about his article on the possible end of blogging.

Turning to the NBA, they discuss Jason Collins’s decision to come out of the closet. Why has it taken so long for professional sports to catch up to the rest of the culture?
