wide web of (tampa bay) sports
After brief hiatus we have plenty of sports blogging goodness to share from around the intertubes and ebays. As the dog days of summer draw to a close so does baseball’s regular season, which means football is right around the corner.
- (At Least Everyone Can Agree Red Sox Fans Are Douchebags) Sure it’s two weeks old but that doesn’t make Rays Index’s Remapping of Florida within the United Countries of Baseball any less brilliant or understated. With the exception that more of the map could have been colored in the brownish shade of orange, there is little to quibble about in RI’s representation of baseball loyalties in the Sunshine State. Where do you fall on the map?
- (Obligatory USF Mention) The Fanhaus gives us their preview of The Juggernaut That Is To Be The University of South Florida Bulls. If the Bulls can get past Auburn early in the season (no easy task) they will have an easy schedule the rest of the way with Louisville and West F*cking Virginia both coming down to Tampa. Could USF be this year’s version of Rutgers?
- (But It’s Still Not The Best Bucs Blog) BucStats has been on fire this exhibition season with daily run downs of training camp and now position breakdowns, the latest taking aim at the safeties. Of note, is Sabby Piscitelli sure to be the next Great White Hope/Hype on the defense. Although my grandmother could start over Jermaine Phillips (she runs a a 4.3 40 and hits like a mack truck).
- (It’s A Sad Day When You Miss ESPN) Lastly but not leastly NBC has announced their NHL schedule and the Bolts Blog feels our beloved Lightning have been slighted. The Bolts did not garner a single game on national television. Which means out of area viewers can look forward to catching the Bolts on the bicycle racing network formerly known as the Outdoor Life Network.
