FanHouse Memo: The Spurs May or May Not = Cancer
Aside from myself, the only other AOL guy focused on FanHouse is John Clifford Ness, and each weekday he sends email to tons industry types showcasing our site's best posts from the day that was. He also publishes these emails to his blog under the tag 'FanHaus AM Memo.' It's one way we market our corner of the sports blogosphere, and since John is vacationing in northern California right now, I'm handling the duties this week. Because today's memo contains upwards of 50 links, I'm just going to drop my ultra-favorites on you, along with a smattering of commentary ...
· Baller-turned-blogger Paul Shirley says, "Rooting for the Spurs is like cheering for cancer." MJD's take in this morning's Debriefing column? "The Spurs don't deserve your scorn."
· Last week it was reported that Fred Taylor, Lito Sheppard and Samari Rolle experienced an airplane scare on a flight back from Africa. Unbelievably, video has surfaced.
· Clinton Portis said this about Michael Vick: "I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, it's his dog. If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business." As a Janky Spanky and dog lover/apologist, I want to throw up right now.
· Report: an NFL assistant forwarded porn to, like, everyone in the league, from the Commish to secretaries. I love Pro Football Talk.
· Magnificent trio of videos over in MLB FanHouse: 1) Houston fans love Carlos Lee 2) Boston broadcaster Jeremy Remy taking a tumble 3) Japanese injuries and collisions.
· Can broadcasters ruin perfect games and no-hitters? Yes.
· I don't know anything about the Dale Earnhardt Jr. stuff other than it is a BIG DEAL, and NASCAR FanHouse has it covered.
Finally, it's well documented that I have an '86 Mets jones, so many thanks to our man Mullet for uncovering the 'Lets Go Mets Go' music video from that magical summer. Amazing ...
And, out of curiousity, how does this post compare with The Big Lead's Roundup? Aside from the nip slips and whatnot, I'm hoping for favorable reviews.
