Sports Blogs I read

First off, my apologies. I wanted to write this post Thursday night, but I started a new job and got off there at midnight, and then I watched a tape of the Suns/Nuggets game, and by that point I was getting a headache was really tired, so I just went to bed.

Now, I thought of this a few days ago, and thought it would be cool to just make a list of the sports blogs that I frequent. I thought this would be a good way to make others aware of them and recognize them for the efforts. If yours is not on the list, chances are I don't know about it, forget it, and it just hasn't been updated ina while. Other bloggers, feel free to copy this "idea" (which I suppose isn't really that original). Here they are, in alphabetical order.

Blog Maverick - I'm not really a devoted reader of the blog, but it's interesting to occassionally look into the mind of billionaire Mark Cuban, because there's really no other blog like this.

Critical Fanatic - Has the daily sports buzz, which is nice. Also has a share of Cubs ramblings, and it's always enjoyable to me to read Cubs fans complaining about their team. :) Also had excellent stuff for the NFL Draft.

Dan's Take - All around sports goodness. Doesn't always focus on the big stories, but has other interesting stuff ("That guy" at your home poker game) which continues to make the blog interesting.

Deadspin - If you count this as a sports blog, probably the best out there. Updated many times throughout the day (and weekend), provides the big stories, obscure stories, and everything in between.

Double-A Zone - The official NCAA Blog. Well written, and covers all levels of the NCAA from Division 1 Division 2, to Division 3. I really enjoy this blog.

Every Day Should Be Saturday - All about college football, and quite frankly, I can't disagree with the premise that every day should be a Saturday (except this Saturday, when I work 4-midnight!)

Free Darko - Generally posts long, well-written messages about the NBA. A fun read if you like the NBA.

Give Me The Rock - Another good NBA blog, with a lot of focus on fantasy basketball.

Kevin Antcliff - A little sports, a little bit of everything else. Always good stuff from Kevin.

My Opinion on Sports - Usually has his eye on Oklahoma stuff and the Dolphins, but does cover lots of stuff nationwide. Posts frequently, so there's usually something new to read.

Need4Sheed - This blog is Sheedtastic. Need I say more?

Pacifist Viking - Mainly focuses on the Vikings but also does some NBA stuff. Well written.

Sportolysis - For more of a worldwide sports perspective.

Sweaty Men Endeavors - Might be my favorite. Very well written, funny, smart, etc. He does write a lot about crappy teams like the Lions and Tigers :), but he also writes about national stuff, and is smart and objective. Very enjoyable blog.

Squeeze Play Sports - A lot of their work is focused on stuff in the LA area, but they do a lot of cool things such as live (or running) blogs of different sports events, and that's always cool.

The Armchair Quarterback - A self-proclaimed ex-kicker, which obviously qualifies him for football work. Solid all-around.

The Big Picture - Another of my favorites. Always very entertaining stuff on here.

The Gatorade Dump - Has done some excellent work on both the NCAA Tournament and a good amount of NBA stuff. Very well-written blog.

The Mighty MJD - This is the guy that writes for Deadspin for the weekends, so you know it's entertaining. Also usually pretty spot on when it comes to analysis and things of that nature.

The Sports Pulse - Don't always write about the big stuff, but it's always entertaining. For instance, the last few posts have been about Charles Barkley, Ryan Leaf, and Coach K playing video poker.

YAYSports NBA - Quite simply the most entertaining NBA blog out there. Great work with Photoshop, great writeups, and really funny all around. They're also trying to make a movie, so donate money for that.

Yoco Hoops - To satisfy some college hoops needs.


I'm assuming I missed a lot, so either leave a message for me in the comments to recommend some more good ones, or better yet, create a list of your own on your blog!
