Many of my readers ask me, “Yes MSG, where do you find the time to blog?  Where do you get all your facts?”

I am here to share.  First of all, I spend the time investigating the nuances of sport for the benefit of my readership.  Much like Investment Banks and Brokerages do all that research so you know where to invest — wait, bad example.  Anyway, I have a tremendous memory for useless information — want to know what Eric Dickerson average in rush yards per game in high school? — so when I hit the “kids, get off my lawn” stage, my blogging career will be over.  Beyond that, I have gleaned a number of invaluable internet sources.  I list them below for all of you, because it is axiomatic that if you are a reader of my blog, you have A LOT OF TIME on your hands!

General Sports and Entertainment

Bill Simmons (the King of sports/entertainment on the internet.  He is like the playground legend who actually makes the NBA, but achieves All-Star, not just Rafer Alston, status.  [Note, Rafer was an AND1 playground performer, who found his way to the NBA])

Jason Whitlock (most provocative and willing to rip people)

Mark Kriegel (good [Jewish] sarcasm and writes on a bunch of sports)

Tim Keown (cannot miss The List)

DJ Gallo (humor)

NFL Football

Tuesday Morning QB (which comes with the bonus of coverage of Science Fiction, Bad Government, Cheerleaders, and Astronomy.  And like me, did NOT think The dark Knight was all that as a film)

Don Banks (best straight up take on NFL)

Monday Morning QB (although Peter King writes with a style more for your dad’s generation, so best to skim; oh, and now that Madden has retired, is the biggest Favre apologist around)

Mike Silver (admittedly attended Cal with Mike and loved his stuff in the Daily Californian.  Not as big a fan these days, but no one, and I mean no one, rips his readers email more deadly than Mike.  Wields the keyboard like a prison shiv)

College Football

Stewart Mandel (in my opinion, the best for a blending of knowledge, entertainment and sarcasm over his overly serious readership)

Pat Forde Yard Dash

 

So click away, or just read my synopsis as it comes out!
