Scoop Jokeson
Published 4/4/2009 by Ryan at The Goose's Roost
by Ryan This will be very short and very random, but I just can’t believe this. How the hell does this exist? The Final Four of Ice Cream? Freaking ice cream? What? That’s something a Life and Arts writer at a local daily pitches and thinks they are witty. What a joke. How are you putting this photo on a March Madness column and you’re not Free Darko? The only possible connection with basketball (or any sport) this has is this, which is sketchy at best. I know ...

Like they’re on a soundstage in Hollywood that Bennett owns, and the players are all cool staying with the team beacuse it’s really Los Angeles life? TK: I’ve been exchanging emails with the guy at Run of Play. And he said his dad works next to the practice facility.

The Post You Never Wanted to Write

... And I do not believe in this whole newfangled “liberated fandom” trend. I don’t. And don’t accuse me of not being deep. I majored in philosophy, OK? I get what Free Darko is saying, and I get the levels on which they’re saying it. But I’ve largely come to the conclusion that it’s not for me and will never will be. Because I don’t understand how you can go to each and every game and not get attached, and not form opinions of players– more than players, really, people– based on what you see. And ...

How the Economy is Affecting Blogs and the Sports Blogosphere
Published 2/17/2009 by theserioustip@yahoo.com (Jordi) at The Serious Tip
A little while ago, MC Bias of Moderately Cerebral Bias asked several bloggers, both full-time and independent, for their opinions on how the economy will affect the sports blogosphere. Whereas MCBias posted the answers of the full-time bloggers on his site, I asked him if I could run my answers here. (By the way, take a couple of minutes and read his post. He did a really good job summarizing the views of various bloggers.) Surprisingly, many of the bloggers quoted by MC Bias actually believed sports blogs and blogging in general will sustain their success, if not increase their ...

Heard It Through the All-Star Grapevine

All-Star Weekend?  Powerful weak.  Sunday’s game had a few nice moments, but it didn’t do enough to make up for the fact that Saturday was disappointment after disappointment.  Bah humbug. One draft analysis that doesn’t reflect well on the Mavs’ draft ’success.’ Last year’s Lakers were a solid team even before the Gasol trade.  Just how solid, you ask?  Try Mavericks solid.  From Mike Fisher of DallasBasketball.com: “The Mavs owner’s references were so specific, it caused me to reflect back: What was the Lakers’ situation a year ago? ...

You Won't Win Daytona, But Jimmie Did
Published 2/10/2009 at FirstCuts
... It's difficult to talk about NASCAR fandom in the same way we talk about being a fan of, say, the Chicago Bulls. It's, emphatically, not rooting for laundry, but rooting for one man's personality, laden with different corporate brand connotations. Jimmie Johnson and Lowe's are a package deal. Rusty Wallace and Miller beer. Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Budweiser Mountain Dew. Driver celebrity is a different concept than other sports' versions of fame. Where a site like FreeDarko is considered radical for emphasizing individual style in basketball ...

I have many problems with the salary cap free world of MLB, though it does lead to the fascinating Bill James, Billy Beane, etc aspects of player analysis and valuing.) Similarly the world is a worse place for no longer having Fire Joe Morgan to read alongside the baseball season. A true loss. At least in the basketball world we still have Free Darko.
