SB Nation – Of, By and For the Fans
Every so often, actually just about everyday thanks to the internet, I have an “I wish I thought of that” moment. It’s usually because I see some schmuck pulling in 50 grand a month on some simple idea that saw the moon and stars align perfectly. That just chaps my ass. But every once in a while I find someone with an idea that I wish I’d had because it would be so cool to be involved in it with them (or to be in charge of it, because I’m an egotistical maniac).
I’m proud to say today’s post is the latter. Sports Blog Nation is a collection of the best tongue-in-cheek sports blogs in the world. And the best part is they’re all run by fans. Covering nearly all teams in nearly all professional leagues and the NCAA, this blog network is impressive. They boast approximately 200 blogs (and growing) and they’ve done an excellent job of scouting the best blogs out there. In fact, there’s a good chance that one of your team’s more popular blogs is part of SB Nation.
The best part of the SB Nation is the across the board attitude of all the blogs to not take sports or themselves too seriously. There is an abundance of wit and sarcasm that is rarely accepted in mainstream sports. It’s a great thing, really, because that style is exactly what’s missing in sports today. It’s a breath of fresh air to read the two cents of a no-name blogger who doesn’t need to worry about making anyone happy. Give them a blog and let them stir the sh*t. Then tune in to watch what happens. Who said there wasn’t such a thing as free entertainment.
Don’t take my word for it, though. Check out SB Nation.
