5 blogs I read

As some who know me, I do love football. It's like my church on Sundays. It is where I am at peace.
I've had to read 5 blogs for school and well, four are in sports.
I tend to read blogs about sports because I like the different information they give me about players, teams and leagues. I watch the sports shows and read the papers but there is a sense of getting, well, more when I read some of these blogs. Maybe it is just that they add to the information I recieve from the other avenues.

The blogs Shutdown Corner and Roto Arcarde on yahoo plus The Fifth Down from the New York Times and Ask Jim Lang: The Say Hey Kid on Sportsnet are the regulars I view.
I decided as well to check out what turned out to be great blog, Uncovering Me written by a friend about her journey through her weightloss. It was really really good.

I find that blogs give me a different perspective of things that I know and see all the time. The sports blogs always have that extra bit of the story that helps me get a better sense of things. They also seem to offer a view that might be more extreme one way or another that isn't normally done in TV or print. Radio? Yeah they can get extreme in radio , especially in sports.
The football blogs let me see a side of things I might not have considered and they have some great inside scoops about injuries or issues on a team you wouldn't find unless you lived in that city and were in the know.
Roto Arcade and Shutdown Corner also give me a laugh. They present the information and stories in a light and entertaining way. They makes stats interesting and help me evaluate talent for fantasy leagues. I get a lot of good info in a small amount of space and it is always up in good time for when the information would be most usefull.
The Fitfh Down has a different style, sometimes even doing interviews in the blog. I was very happy as just last week, my favorite player ever in football and who I think is a role model, Warren Moon, was interviewd about his new book, Never Give Up Your Dream, My Journey.
Once again it is chockfull of great tips and stats. A football junkie can never get enough.
Most of these blogs are a team of people sharing doing blogs.

Ask Jim Lang is something that keeps me tied to rumours and stories in Canada and hockey. He is really smart and has good points on important subjects in sports. I respect his thoughts. Well spoken (tells it like it is) and doesn't take cheap shots and is open to new info to change his mind.
My friend Michelle's blog is very inspiring and made me learn more about her. It is also cool to know the person doing the blogging and she has my respect for doing what she did.
Get lots of good tips and recipes from her blolg and I do like to eat too.

So in many ways I get waht seems like more information from blogs than the other forms of media, but I think it is just a great addition to the other info I get.
Information is king. It is one thing people can't take from you once you have it.
