Let’s continue with the “Blogs on…” series, our little series of “getting to know you” posts, which were intended to give my readers a little insight on the stuff I read in various categories, and likewise for readers to share some of their favorites in the comments as well.

I started out with blogs on blogging, then blogs on movies and blogs on music. Now, let’s move on to blogs on sports.

Also, just so this post doesn’t seem totally off topic, I should mention that blogs in all industries can often provide insight into good blogging strategies, whether it be in the are of design, marketing, or writing. Even if you have a blog about making money online, you can learn things from blogs about movies, football, or pottery. I think you get my point.

Deadspin – Deadspin has a variety of writers, but the posts tend to combine current events in sports ith a bit of humor, making for some enjoyable reading for sports fans.

Intentional Foul – Like Deadspin, there is usually a more humorous angle to the posts here, and they cover a variety of sports. It’s not the place to go for breaking headlines, but for some humorous commentary and pictures, they deliver.

ProFootballTalk – I like PFT a lot, mostly because NFL football is really the only sport I truly get excited about (ok, I like NCAA football too). It’s not that I don’t like other sports, but none of them appeal to me in the way that pro football does. It’s the only sport that I’ll actually plan elements of my life around. Let’s put it that way. PFT has breaking NFL news all the time. I often see stories there before even ESPN. If you’re an NFL fan, it’s a must-subscribe.

There you have it. What are your favorite sports blogs?

You got it. Thanks for the minimal amount of obvious Lions jokes. They’re already their own punchline. :)

I like that you made a point that you can learn from a variety of blogs that are not even in the category you normally deal with. There are some common themes that are present between various sites.

I am afraid I am not very much of a sports person Chris. I just cannot get myself all enthused about it!

There are some SB Nation blogs that are quite good. I’m a huge baseball fan and McCoveyChronicles is one of the best.

Thanks, haven’t really stumbled upon many sports blogs. Just visited “Intentional Foul” and think you guys are doing a great job there.
