First popularized by Bill Simmons, a liveblog is a running diary of a sporting event. A sportswriter sits at his computer and updates the liveblog whenever he wants to. The best part of this is that instead of writing a recap the next day and saying, "Kenny Smith said a lot of stupid things," the writer can instead say "Kenny Smith just said 'Lebron James is like Ghandi' and then insert a very witty joke."
