Blog Talk

We've been curious for a while about this: if you're reading this site, what other finely edited sites are you reading?

If you've been following Why Don't We Get Drunk and Blog's Suckiest Sports Blog Tournament, you'll notice that some big-name sports blogs aren't highly thought of and others, that we didn't know much about, are well-regarded.

If you read this site often, you know which blogs we like. If you can pick up on subtleties, you know which ones we don't. But we won't focus on those.

If you will please, in the comments give us your top five sports blogs (excluding this site...you all know this is your favorite. If it's not, you're lying. And if you're not lying, maybe you're penis-less). If you want to pick some fights, feel free to leave your five least favorite sports blogs. Including a most-overrated and most-underrated blog would be good, too.

It'll be fun for all. We think. Probably. Maybe not. It just might be humbling. Fuck. This could backfire. Play nice.

firejoemorgan, mccoveychronicles, and ninersnation and here are where I spend my time. I'm not as much into the sports blogging as I should be. oh, I've been getting into that dugout place recently.

This one wins by default. I'm way too self-absorbed to even seek out five blogs, let alone sports blogs.

I happened onto this blog by searching Sophie Simone Cortina. I thought you were a funny muthafucka and I dug the mock-cockiness. Also, if there was going to be a steady stream of pictures of broads, I figured I could sit down for a drink.

Honestly, I am not a big fan of Deadspin...I have tried to contact him a few times and he has never responded...

I'm sorry, but some bloggers will rant about ESPN and the big media, but Deadspin is just the same as the bigshots in the media...

Shoot, I have an easier time getting responses from journalists at big time newspapers than I do with Deadspin...
