Insomniac's Lounge talks about why Joakim Noah's life is good. I hope his life is soon good in the Twin Cities.
NFC-North.com says Cedric Benson is critical to the Bears' hopes this year.
Randball looks at the Mike James-Juwan Howard trade.
Here's an old Pro Football HOF article about left-handed quarterbacks. Show respect for your sinister brethren!
You know sports bloggers don't just talk sports: the Hater Nation defends the Seinfeld season finale and I've Made a Huge Tiny Mistake defends The Sopranos season finale.
And speaking of sports bloggers writing about non-sports, I don't just criticize sports columns; any bad column will do. You can check out Costanza Book Club for my recent critique of the the Strib's Katherine Kersten's column on beggars in Minneapolis.
Suspension of Disbelief
There are two criteria for an article to qualify as a "suspension of disbelief" article.
1. It must be from a national news source (local papers, or course, are always doing something like this about local players; I find it interesting when national newspapers do these pieces).
2. It must involve quotes from the player being discussed (all sorts of writers make predictions; a "suspension of disbelief" article involves talking to the player about why he'll be great).
And remember: I'm not saying the writers or players are wrong when they talk about why they'll be good in 2007; obviously some of them will be right, and every article is plausible.
Today's suspension of disbelief column is from the USA Today and features Matt Hasselbeck.
