As an NBA follower, I'm come to depend on the juxtaposition and passion of certain blogs: ( Free Darko (http://freedarko.blogspot.com/) ) as well as keeping tabs on the home teams (DC Sports Bog (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/) ) . I'm wondering though, where others go (if they do) for a daily dose. Hmm?

Same for me.

No, but music blogs WITH sports content is a terrible idea...and there's a couple of them.

Amen, Hoya. But would Steinberg by Steinberg without Simmons? I don't know enough to know, honestly. But growing a playoff beard (http://www.playoffbeard.com/) is pretty kewl

good point, but he's just a lot fresher than simmons ... that said, he'll probably get old, repetitive, and annoying in a couple years just like simmons

That's a better point, but I hope he doesn't lose it. He's amazing right now. But the Post isn't a sinkhole: look at Kornheiser, he's remained fresh and relevant all these years...

steinberg is fantastic and simmons can be a bit much at times, but i think it's easy to take simmons for granted at this point. i mean, since i'm one of "the other 19" nba obsessives, i enjoy his 4,000 word ramblings on the nba, not sure that goes for many others.
wizznutzz (http://www.wizznutzz.com/) is often incomprehensible but still plenty entertaining. can't stop the bleeding (http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/) isn't anything too special, but i find it entertaining just because it's gerard cosloy writing it. free darko's a good one. when i just want the smart, straight up analysis, i go to john hollinger's stuff on espn.com and everything on the baseball prospectus web site.

Buster Olney (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=olney_buster) and Rob Neyer (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?name=neyer_rob) for baseball.
EPL Talk (http://www.eplleague.blogspot.com/) and the The Guardian (http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/) for Footie.

Not at all what I expected from my Sports Page this morning:
FIRST PERSON
Old Mike, new Christine
By Mike Penner, Times Staff Writer
April 26, 2007
During my 23 years with The Times' sports department, I have held a wide variety of roles and titles. Tennis writer. Angels beat reporter. Olympics writer. Essayist. Sports media critic. NFL columnist. Recent keeper of the Morning Briefing flame.
Today I leave for a few weeks' vacation, and when I return, I will come back in yet another incarnation.
As Christine.
