Upcoming Potential Sources

As this term nears the end we are beginning to wind down our blog entries and begin working on our analysis paper. When writing this paper we will analyze the community in which we are blogging. By now, I'm sure everyone knows that most of my blogs are written on Monday or Tuesday mornings and revolve around the games played on Sunday.

There are many football bloggers but some of the ones I find interesting are those that can be found on ESPN.com written by John Clayton and the NFL Blog Buzz at NBCSports.com. Both of these sites contain blogs written by professional analysis who are well known not only because of their writing but also because of their appearances on shows such as NFL Countdown and the NFL Network.

The above mentioned sites are just a couple of the positive sites out there on the internet. But believe me when I tell you there are many other football blogs that will make you madder than a coon dog stuck in a thorn bush. These guys have absolutely no clue, they haven't seen the ball since kick-off! A majority of the bad blogs make false statements to bash players or teams and use no stats or resources to back up such statements.

To me blogs like these are not even worth the time it would take to analyze them since life is so short and it's time you'll never get back.

Thanks for the thumbs up on NFL Blog Buzz. We're had a hunch fans would want to have some of the best in one spot and NBCSports gets kudos for amplifying bloggers' voices. For fans of other sports checkout our Sports Blog Indexes www.sportsmediachallenge.com/sportsblogindex

Interesting response you got from Hessert here...

I think you should stick primarily to the good blogs in your blogging community. With the statistic I heard in my Tech and Literacy class two summers ago, there were 50,000 new blogs created each day (and about 49,900 ones dropped), but with all that new activity comes medocrity. Your writing and analysis are good: stick to those who are doing the same type of writing as you (and know some stuff). Good review here!
