Blog-checked already!

Zanstrom over at the excellent Waiting for Stanley hockey-themed blog gave me a link today, and I'm properly chuffed over it. I've had a great time on there with the articles and adding the occasional comment that I hope contributes something to the discussion.

An interesting thing, I used to be quite active on various forums in the sports sections, but invariably the forums devolve into ridiculous name-calling and childishness. So far none of that on any of the sports themes blogs I have been regularly reading, including Waiting for Stanley, 100% Injury Rate and Full Court NBA. Perhaps it is because the blogs are more closely moderated, so any moronic comments can be swiftly purged from the system. Perhaps having a blogger/google account linked to it helps reduce the "anonymity factor". Or perhaps the hordes of jackasses just haven't discovered the sports blogs yet.

We can hope they never do..
