Report: 18-month-old website missing
Stay tuned to ******casualties.com for continuing coverage.
In what some are calling an eerily coincidental turn of events, authorities have filed a missing website report for Florida blog SportsCasualties.com, which turned 18 months old on Monday.
Investigators were unwilling to comment at the time this publication went to press, but South Florida private investigation service One Miami is expected to begin searching for the site on Wednesday.
Robert Hilson, the blog’s co-founder and sole author after the mysterious March disappearance of founder Bryan Holt, was last seen at a computer at 7:15 Tuesday night on the second floor of 444 Brickell Ave. in Miami. Sources confirm that he was not with SportsCasualties.com.
The site, a long-time fixture of the ‘new’ sports blogosphere, had in recent months turned into something of a clearinghouse for flighty pop culture analysis and personal diary entries.
Seattle blogger Kyle Rancourt of Kylerancourt.com says he suspected neglect.
“I figure, man, I never blog anymore. It’s kind of pathetic, really. At least Hilson isn’t churning out three posts per day like he used to. That makes me feel slightly better,” he stated in a post published June 30.
No abductor suspects have yet been identified, but media speculation points to the 24-year-old Hilson, who on May 9 was kidnapped by the Accompaniment of Sassified E-Harmony Spaniards and had since turned over custody of Sports Casualties to casual commenters.
Readers of the missing site suggested that the once vibrant log had displayed signs of depression since May, perhaps do to sporadic traffic and an overall lack of attention.
Hilson wrote as early as last August and again in early May that readers should not expect the consistent output of the blog’s formative year. He complained several times in the last two months about not being able to take care of the site on his own.
“Been rough around these parts lately,” he blogged on June 9, “rougher than ball chaffage on the 12th hole.”
Holt, the blog’s estranged parent, was not available for comment, but recently posted “I love my country. I love my guns.” in a cryptic Facebook status on Monday.
Why don’t you find a new blogger to join your website….like Kyle. Then maybe you could put out more sports topics.
yes yes yes (although I can barely keep my own blog afloat with my obligations at CougCenter, school, Xbox, and frequent napping)
If it’s all the same to you, I’d prefer to keep reading the stylings of Monsieur RH…
I started blogging about Casey Anthony, but then halfway through I realized, I do not care about this at all. I deleted it.
Man blogging is such a drain sometimes. I enjoy when something cool happens to give us content, but when you have to talk yourself into writing about something, it’s such a damn chore.
Yeah, and then I actually wrote it. I’m such a slave to blog traffic.
I heard after the verdict was read she turned to her attorney and said “Sorry I like to party.”
[...] dedicate an entire post to it. However, with zero content around here lately, and juggernauts like Sports Casualties going missing, I need to do something. A guy’s gotta [...]
Hey man, you’re doing this blog abandonment thing all wrong. You don’t write posts about your neglect. You merely disappear into the void, never to be heard from again. Check out mine for a perfect example.

Say it ain’t so, ‘fro; say it ain’t so…
It’s sad what has happened. I’ve even pulled the site from my regular home page settings…
Sniffle, sniffle… Where were you when the day stopped turning sports casualties…
