You're not so replaceable in my daily routine... "intelligent" sports writers seem to be few and far between. There are others but I can't think of any that provide what you did on a daily basis. Particularly, I can't think of any that take such a skeptical stance on traditional measures of success (There are the Bill Jameses, of the world, but they don't have daily columns) and are willing to criticize the traditional media like you did (I like Deadspin and other blogs like it, but it can be a little sophmoric at times, and the writing is hit or miss). Having said that, any recommendations for writers that are your "style?" Nice interview… but I think you’re underselling yourself.
