I’ve been busy to say the least so I haven’t been running a lot of my normal features. There’s been no Headphones On In The Locker Room, and no luv from me in the form of Bloggas Be Typin.. So here’s my apology, the mother of all BBTs.

The Starting Five:
A must read interview with Rob Parker, and a look at some double standards in Major League Baseball.

Signal To Noise:
The Mansnitch got ratted out by Brian Billick. Plus, a shout out to the WNBA champions..Ahh that’s sweet.

Ball Hype:
A man’s dream… A bunch of female sports bloggers in one place. I don’t know a sexy way to say this one, just more incredible NBA stat breakdowns.

Larry Brown Sports:
LB is all over LT acting like a B-A-B-Y, and Avery Johnson calling out “Lil D” in Big D.

DeadSpin:
Thank God for Isiah Thomas’ sexual harrasment trial. Does Steve Phillips get paid for his opinions?

Epic Carnival:
Hot chicks and all things MMA. Reggie Bush vs. Lendale White..Right now White’s winning.

The Big Lead:
ESPN replaces Byron Leftwich with O.J. Simpson. Elijah Dukes is in the news and it’s not all bad.

With Leather:
Shawne Merriman hanging out with porn stars? Polo on Segways= Watch this video.

The Big Picture:
A conversation between Byron Leftwich and Joey Harrington.

Mr. Irrelevant:
An Eagles’ fan Monday night pain.

Edge of Sports:
Nixon, Belichick, and cheating.

We Are The Postmen:
Taco Bell hopes nachos can ease Charlie Weis’ pain.

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…
