Blog Recommendation

For our class, we needed to send a link to a blog that we enjoy reading. I actually have a few different blogs that I like, so I thought I'd send a few different links.

The first is Bill Simmons' "The Sports Guy" blog on ESPN.com. I enjoy his work a lot because he writes solely from the perspective of a fan. He has one of the most influential and widely read sports columns on the web and his work has become widely imitated by other sports writers. He tends to write with a completely free-lancing style, and his columns could easily go from the NBA to Major League Baseball to "Entourage" to random MTV shows in a single sentence. He's not perfect, and I have my own problems with some of his work (not to mention the fact that he tends to hate on the Pistons), but I have been reading him for quite some time and I also check for any updates.

The second one that I'm posting are two Detroit Pistons blogs that I usually read every day. They differ in style, but I enjoy both of them. The first, and my favorite of the two, is called "Need 4 Sheed" and is written by a diehard Pistons fan. I like her blog because she gives detailed write-ups on each game and posts links to most Pistons articles on the web. Plus, any site that you can order T-Shirts that say "Ball Don't Lie" with Sheed's face on it and "Count That Baby And A Foul" with George Blaha's face on it. The second Pistons blog is written more in a style that A Free Press or Detroit News beat reporter would cover the team.

Plus, Rog's blog is just as good as these two, and we agree on 99.9% of Pistons-related topics, so I'll post to his, too.
