Re: BLOGPOLL
[ QUOTE ]
Brian from mgoblog also posts on the AOL Fanhouse, which is mostly horrible (rule: if any post there is titled with a question, skip, it will suck), but he's got a few gems. [/ QUOTE ] The thing with the Fanhouse is he gets paid by the post, so you'd expect him to go with quantity over quality. Also, the other blog is his first priority, so he devotes most of his quality stuff to that. The Fanhouse never mentions Michigan on its own, for example, so the area he know the most about and is more passionate about is completely ignored there. I also forgot, he had two great posts on graduation rates from July or August, when that whole Harbaugh thing blew up. Very thoughtful with a lot of research and citations to economic studies. Not saying it is foolproof but when that debate occurs, all anyone ever says is "our graduation rate > your graduation rate ZOMG we win!" Nice to see a detailed analysis of an area that never gets much attention.

Re: BLOGPOLL
To be clear, I don't thik Brian's fanhouse stuff is bad. I think the Fanhouse as a whole is pretty horrible and employees a lot of [censored] bloggers. (Michael David Smith I am looking at you).
They also employ MGD, who [censored] rules.

Re: BLOGPOLL
Blogs I have on my RSS
Baseball Prospectus Unfiltered Fire Joe Morgan Results Disoriented Baseball Delusions Vegas Watch Free Darko True Hoop Gilbert Arenas Kissing Suzy Kolber Random Vikings and Jays Blogs Deadspin Dids, I tried EDSBS and didn't really like it and figured any of the really good stuff would be linked on deadspin. Should I reconsider? Non Blogs which I suscribe to and are still really [censored] good. Hardball Times Baseball Prospectus (subscription needed) Football Outsiders Basketball Prospectus.

Re: BLOGPOLL
Pudge,
Yes, although if you don't care about SEC football, maybe not so much. I'm personally just kinda e-gay for the guy's writing. Free Darko and True Hoop are musts for basketball fans. I think TrueHoop is about the best sports blog ever. With Leather does Deadspin better than Deadspin mostly.

Re: BLOGPOLL
True Hoop>>>>Free Darko imo.
fwiw GOAL.com and tribalfootball are the best non team oriented soccer ones i have found. Also if people are interested, Newsnow is probably the best news aggregator and what I normally read every morning. Its pretty much just an RSS feed of stories from all papers.

Re: BLOGPOLL
Dids,
Funny you say that because I subscribed to both With Leather and Deadspin and though Deadspin was better and dropped With Leather. Maybe because I'm afraid of change. Free Darko is really hit or miss for me sometimes I love it and sometimes I feel like yelling THIS IS BASKETBALL IT ISN'T A MICROCOSM OF LIFE. FWIW for that same reason I dislike certain Freedarko posts I love The Wire blog by the same writers.
