Jamie Mottram's Sports Blog - www.misterirrelevant.com

Last night's Sports Bloggers Live came off without a hitch thanks to the following guests showing up and bringing a level of analysis not seen nor heard since Tino Martinez and his perfect hair revolutionized ESPN's Baseball Tonight: The Basketball Jones, Need 4 Sheed, Clipper Blog, Ty Hildenbrandt, Touching All the Bases, Off Wing Opinion and Mike Florio. We also played voicemails from bloggers (Ohio LeBlog and Diecast Dude, and, hell, a blog war even broke out. Here's how it all went down...

 Long live the Queen

1st segment ~ NBA Playoffs: The Basketball Jones disputes claims that LeBron is not nice, Need 4 Sheed reveals how she'll emasculate Cleveland, Clipper Blog unveils his five-year plan for world domination and Ohio LeBlog talks more trash than Gary Payton in his prime.
 Listen: full segment | TBJ | Sheed | Clipper | LeBlog (mp3)

2nd segment ~ Yanks vs. Sox: NY fan Ty Hildenbrandt tells us how he sleeps at night and Touching All the Bases' Chad Finn admits that Mo is better than Papelbon, Papi is struggling and the rotation may need help.
 Listen: full segment | Hildenbrandt | Finn

3rd segment ~ NHL Playoffs: Off Wing carries us through the second round in the quest for the Cup, talking about a lot of players whose names we can't pronounce and teams we've barely heard of. Diecast Dude also chimes in with a take on his Sharks.
 Listen: full segment | Dude (mp3)

4th segment ~ NFL rumor of the week: Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio drops in to ruminate on Charlie Casserl job status in Houston and Marcus Vick getting reps as a wideout in Miami.
 Listen: full segment

Bonus ~ SBL's blog of the week: End of the Bench gets the nod for no other reason than he tore us apart on his site. We'd never heard of or been to his blog before, yet he spent a lot time telling us we "really, really suck" and calling us "phony." I strongly dispute most of what he writes, but at least now his massive audience has heard of us.
  Listen: blog war (mp3)

Extra: Hear the hilarious 'Sheed soundbite (mp3) that Chris blogs about here.

  Yeah, I just checked out END OF THE BENCH and I don't understand his beef.  I mean, he smacks on about you having a  blog that just links other people's stuff.  Then I scroll thru his blog and he does the exact same thing.  The difference is that your blog tends to be the melting of all the AOL [and others] blogs out there.   All I know that "he who barks loudest isn't necessarily the best".  Just ask Mayorga.
