I used to check ESPN daily for the sports guy first thing I would do when I got online. I knew nothing of deadspin or any other other sports blogs. Simmons offered an alternative voice that I didn't get in SI or ESPN and that's why I loved him. Then I started blogging and blog edicate forces you to become familar with everyone else, and quickly my reading habits changed. Now, today, I hardly ever read Simmons. When I do I'll skim an article or I'll read about two paragraphs and it just seems so mundane, like been here done that, it's getting tired. <BR/><BR/>I agree that he is still the preeminate internet writer, but as people find other outlets people leave him behind. <BR/><BR/>On a side note, among college students Sporting News revealed in a poll that Everday should be Saturday is the most popular sports blog with KSK and Deadspin second and third.Nickwww.imwritingsports.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-12371801893938248602007-09-18T16:25:00.000-05:002007-09-18T16:25:00.000-05:00Very interesting, Jacob.
