We were No. 11

March 8th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanR

Remember last week when Sports Business Journal dropped its list of the 20 Most Influential People in Online Sports? (If you don’t, then damn you have some short-term memory problems.)

Well, The Chicago Sports Review - a most excellent publication, might I add - compiled a list of the all-time 10 best sports blogosphere stories in its latest print edition. We didn’t make the list, but again, as was the case last time, we just missed out at No. 11. What for? Our Mark Cuban story, which, months and months later, we still aren’t living down and probably never will.

As for the list, No. 1 -surprise, surprise - is “You’re With Me Leather” followed closely behind by Carl Monday. (Many forget that the Mike Cooper-Monday saga actually originated at the best college football blog ever created - Everyday Should Be A Saturday, not at Deadspin. Although, Will certainly put that on blast to the masses and made it the phenomenon that it was.)

The brilliance of the Sex Cannon came in at No. 3. Another one of note is No. 10 - that whole USC Song Girl “did she flash some ass and who is she?” mystery which originated at a blog I should be reading more, Awful Announcing.

So, again, like I said, we were No. 11.
