Stuff about sports

I'll read almost anything about sports. I especially like articles about Andy Reid's sons' heroin addictions. I also love reports from spring training. On the flip side, I hate it when all of the NY papers have an article about the same player on the same day, and use the same quotes. Why do we need multiple people covering sports if they are all gonna write the same thing?

On that note, here are two sports-related sites that I have found recently and are worth checking out:

The first is a sports-business blog on CNBC by Darren Rovell. He used to write the business articles on ESPN.com. I find this stuff interesting. For example, his post on the top 20 selling NFL jerseys shows Eli is climbing the rankings pretty quickly. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15837629/site/14081545/

The second is a new startup that has been in the news recently for getting funding. It is a user-generated sports news site clled Bleacher Report.

Enjoy.
