I was checking out the Black Blog Awards website when I noticed the damnedest thing… Under the heading for Best Sports/Recreation Blog there are 3 names and yes, you guessed it… I’m not one of them.
The three finalist are The Starting Five, The Sideline Show Sportstalk Radio, and Sportz-N-Album Cutz. The Starting Five gets my vote because not only have I never heard of the other two sites, it is the most solid BOO sports blog that you’ll find. The Five get good interviews, go in-depth with their topics, and they have a solid group of commenters that go left, right, and often straight to the heart of a story. The site has biases but they don’t hide them, and even though it seems like they’re always about race, they’re actually reppin’ for equality.
With that said, NO, I don’t feel snubbed by the committee. Nope. Not at all. I mean, if I did feel that they overlooked some of post I did about Jason Whitlock or Kobe Bryant, I wouldn’t say anything about it. Why would I? It would read like I was whining. And I wouldn’t do that. I don’t care enough. If I cared I would dedicate at least a paragraph to the humorous videos and NBA player/lesbian bar story that I wrote about. Plus, who the hell am I to feel dissed? If I was aggy about my little blog getting left off the list what about the likes of Nation Of Islam Sportsblog, Leave The Man Alone, Ms. Gossip, Jones On The NBA, Pyle Of A List, and a number of other sites that put in major work? So again, NO, I don’t feel snubbed.
But please believe.. I don’t get a nod next year, I’m going out like this…
