A buddy of mine (who you should know is very anti-Boston sports after going to school at Middlebury) and I started a general sports blog this morning.  I think we'll be updating it pretty consistently and I just thought I'd inform you all in case you're ever bored enough to add another blog to your rotation.  Thanks!

Thanks, Jeff... definitely looked it over and considered some of your points.  It's starting to round into shape design wise and then we can just fly with the writing.  And thanks dark_lord... the more readers the better!  We're going to try and keep it interesting and funny, and I'll do what I can to counter his anti-Boston sentiment with some pro-Celtics writing (just don't expect too many compliments for the Sox...).

Jeff set up a YouTube page and I set up a Facebook CB group but both are largely inactive. That is in part because neither one of us have time to be involved with them, much less MySpace too. It is also in larger part because in CB5 we'll have pretty much everything that is in Facebook, MySpace and YouTube, and you won't have to go anywhere to get it. It will all be right here for everyone, plus more.

When will CB5 see the light of day?
It'll probably steal many more hours
from us all than the current one does  ;)

Anyway, I thought about a thread for this
but I'll just throw it in here instead:
If anyone wants to add me as a Facebook
"friend", just send me a PM and I'll be glad
to add you. I've got like 270 "friends" at FB
so a few more won't hurt .
Of course, it'll take away some of the CB
"mystique" but I think I'll live with that  :)

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
Good luck with the blog.  It's tough to find good ideas over a long stretch of time, especially with so many other good sites out there...original content can be tough if you're not writing full time.  Hopefully having a team of writers will help, and if not, you can always steal content...because that's what the internet is for!

A couple people that checked out my blog via CB have asked why there was no Celtics content up... well I just made a post about some thoughts on the current offseason, so for anyone that would like to check it out:

How about secondchoiceofbackgroundcolor.com?  Good god, I can barely read the posts with that background color he chose.  Unless he's getting sponsorship from an optometrist, he should make his blog's appearance reader friendly.
