Sports Blogging 101

Sports blogging 101- Well I'm not real sure how I'm going to treat this new adventure or how good I will be at updating new entries, but I do promise to do my best. So here goes...

The story of the week in the world of sports is of course the Super Bowl. The Mecca of all sporting events that generates more revenue than any other sport could ever dream of. In fact a 30 second commercial spot ($2.6 million) in the Super Bowl more than triples that of its closest competitor.. the summer Olympics.



And this year it will feature an AFC powerhouse offense of the Indianapolis Colts and the defensive minded NFC Chicago Bears. Of course the cliche is that "defense wins championships" however I don't think whoever first made that statement knew about Peyton Manning. Simply put, the Colts are the better team. I'm not saying the Bears won't have a chance, in fact I think it will be a close game, but in the end I believe it will be Manning once and for all silencing his critics.



Staying in the NFL. It was great to eat lunch today with Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, who
also happens to be my former Clovis high school teammate Hank Baskett. The best thing about Hank isn't his talent on the field nor is it his great character off the field but its the fact that he hasn't changed a bit. Our conversation today was no different than ones we had in high school except this time we talked about things like quarterback controversy in Philadelphia. By the way if you are wondering, Hank says there isn't one and he should know, he talked to Jeff Garcia yesterday.


I think that will be enough for one entry. Check back soon because I know I'll be discussing the Dallas Cowboys search for a new coach and many more sports topics.

Take Care,

About your Super Bowl comments, there is one thing you're correct is that it will be a close game but -- the Bears shall win. Sorry you're wrong, Lee K. Manning will still suck when playing "big" games.

Correction. The first sentence should begin with "About your Super Bowl comments, you're correct that it will be a..."

Sorry for the poorly constructed sentence and not proof reading it.

This is John Nguyen, by the way. Found your blog thanks to Facebook.

Twoot, Twit, Twiddle-dee-dee, whoever, may understand sentence structure, but he doesn't know anything about sports.

I agree with you, it will be the Colts wearing the victory rings.

Will you ask Twoot if "slience" is a word we could find in the dictionary?
After all, he is the proofreader.
