[Sports, Women, Beer]
So after two days of pondering just what the heck I was doing entering this wretched thing, I came up with this: I won't win. I can't.
Because I'm simply not putting in the time and effort it takes to win something like this.
But I can, however, offer my valuable advice on what a successful blog on Fox Sports might look like!
You'd have to be merciless. Any and everyone would be fair game. That includes Fox sideline reporters we'd like to see follow Lisa Guerrero into the pages of Playboy.
That includes national sports columnists; the President, your mom, and even your girlfriend (let's face it, they don't read blogs, much less sports ones).
Sports fans rarely agree - I recently got into a pissing contest with a good friend over whether or not the Houston Texans should draft Reggie Bush (duh, don't be stupid!) or trade down and stock up on a meek offensive line; we haven't spoken in days - but this much is true: We loves sports, drinking, and women.
So naturally, those three are essentially to a prominent blog. Nobody cares that I got wrecked on Beast lite last night and professed my love to Drew Barrymore before getting kicked out of a bar - BUT, if Drew Barrymore was canoodling with Derek Jeter (she wasn't, just sayin), and they were drinking Beast lite, well, that's a story.
And not just women and athletes - but celebrities, promiscious reality stars, and playboy playmates. Kyle Boller and Tara Reid? We care. Quentin Richardson and Brandy? Yup. Tony Gonzalez and the hot bartender downstairs at Suede, whose name we don't quite know? Not really.
And finally, we have to decide early on who we'll love to hate. We will mock them endlessly - all in good fun, natch - and then when they get the bright idea to write us (because they will) and attempt to win us over, we'll play nice - but it's not going to impact our blog's intentions and goal.
Do you want to read more about Ron Mexico, or the success of the Colts cover-2 defense? Would you rather read about Derek Jeter dating Jessica Alba, or what might happen with Roger Clemens (a massive non-story until something actually happens)?
Sure, they'll be some serious sports news - Drew Rosenhaus is a douche (can we use that word?), Rafael Palmeiro is a cheat, Adam Morrison has a sweet jumper but the mustache of a sex-offender, JJ Redick is the greatest pure shooter in the history of college basketball (not a stretch), and Tony Dungy is a great coach, not just a great black coach.
