Stuff Worth Checking Out
A recent addition to this space is our finally getting with the times and adding a blog roll. The sites there are a collection of blogs that we find valuable and entertaining in a variety of different ways. A cruise through some of my favorites among them this morning yields these recommendations:
---A solid dissertation on the ludicrous nature of the rumor that if Matt Millen doesn't get to seven wins next year, he will finally lose his job. The excellent Detroit centered blog The Wayne Fontes Experience calls bullshit on that, as historic losing hasn't cost him his job up to now. Six wins would be damn near reason to throw a parade given how low Millen has taken Detroit's standards...
---Braves & Birds Blog has been in the zone with regard to soccer thoughts in the last few weeks, but last night's paragraph on the unholy convergance of bad things happening to favorite teams and programs in general is a highlight among always solid stuff.
---Dave Sez, also in the zone with the college basketball season deep into its year, with a thought on where this year's ACC frosh class stacks up with the great ACC classes of all time. Well worth it if you care about college basketball even a little.
---Airing of Grievances, sourcing constant Frog fave Mighty MJD, for a compilation of greatest dunks from Vince Carter. And Chiles' take on some of the unfairness of the criticism of Carter is well taken. By the way, I assume most of you have seen it, but if you have not, please check out MJD's latest in his "Letters from Pets" series for the thoughts of Ron Artest's very hungy Great Dane. Brilliance.
Enjoy those and the others we have on the roll. Quality stuff all around.
