25 sports blogs you should read

Filed Under Blogging 

In honor of the Sports Blogging 101 Series, I wanted to point out 25 great sports blogs that I have in my Google Reader. I have grouped them by categories: general sports, league/team-specific, sport media and sport business. There are obviously more than 25 great sports blogs online, but this is just a short list in no particular order to get you started. I tried to collect a wide range so that you would have a starting point no matter what organization or league you represent.

General Sport Blogs

1. The Big Lead

2. SPORTSbyBROOKS

3. Deadspin

4. Hugging Harold Reynolds

5. Sports Guy’s World (Bill Simmons — Page 2, ESPN.com)

League-specific Blogs

6. All of the Yahoo! Sports league blogs: Puck Daddy (NHL), Shutdown Corner (NFL), Big League Stew (MLB), and Ball Don’t Lie (NBA)

7. From the Rink (NHL)

8. ProFootballTalk.com (NFL)

9. True Hoop (NBA)

10. Beyond the Boxscore (MLB)

Team-specific Blogs

11. MetsBlog (New York Mets)

12. Need4Sheed (Detroit Pistons)

And yes, I realize there actually were more than 25 blogs listed. 25 sports blogs just sounds snazzier in the title than 31 so I just let it go.

    Thanks Christy, I appreciate the mention.

    You do an awesome job with this site and I think, no I know, any organization will be lucky to get you after you graduate (even if you do got to Michigan.:-) Go Bucks!)

    Um, the Sports Guy’s column is NOT a blog. Secondly, it focuses mainly on the NBA, not “general sports.”

    Good list – only one I’d say absolutely should be on is Joe Posnanski’s blog, it is the best thing on the Internet. http://www.joeposnanski.com.
