Eli Manning tied the not over the weekend with Abby McGrew, his college sweethart. A Superbowl win and now a wedding. Manning mine as well ride off into the sunset because it's all down hill from here. The big question is whether Abby McGrew is the same girl in the Drunk Athlete picture below. It doesn't look like her but these days you never know. We have also included a better picture of Abby below.

Party with Kwame Brown on New Years Eve

2007-12-07T08:24:00.000-08:00

Courtesy of You Been Blinded. Party with Kwame at the Garden of Eden in LA. The Garden of Eden has to have one of the dumbest websites I have ever seen. First they have a splash page that tells you the site is best viewed with this player and then they have another splash site asking whether you are a event planner, location scout, or just curious. Finally you are in the site after 3 clicks. If anyone goes to the party, report back on Kwame and get some pictues.

We tried to think who Bill Simmons hates the most. So we decided to team him up with his boy Tom Brady against Isiah, James D, and Derek. We promise, this is the last one.

Jeremy Shockey loves him some bald eagle.

DeShawn Stevenson has this tattoo so he can play pick-up shirtless.

Vince Young has this tattoo so he can play football pad-less.

Baron Davis the Director

2007-10-18T15:32:00.001-07:00

Today in his blog Baron plugged his new movie, "Personally, I am working on my "Gang" documentary and reaching out to my uncle Snoop to help with a title song. Snoop is the godfather of gangster rap to have him considering even helping out is an honor."

He mentioned needing to get back on track and I, being a Warriors fan, hope he gets his mind right for the season and puts the movie project on the back burner.

Where Will Kobe Be Traded?

Bill Simmons In Spandex!

2007-10-17T10:07:00.000-07:00

If you didn't see the season premier of "E-60", you definitely missed a good show. I am sure ESPN will replay it a lot if it gets good reviews so keep an eye out for it. Deadspin was on top of it this morning and put the Bill Simmons Video Game segment right up:

Top 25 Sports Blogs by the Numbers

2007-10-16T19:12:00.000-07:00

Since my blog is new I wanted to do some quality research and see what makes a successful blogger. Below is my list of the Top 25 sports bloggers. Through my research, I have read that most people agree that www.compete.com is the most accurate website when estimating visitors. Here is how they define a unique visitor: "they only count a person once no matter how many times they visit a site in a given month." I used Alexa.com's numbers as a secondary option. I also used Alexa for the sites that use blogger.com since you can't track blogger sites on Compete.

And for God Sakes, Kissing Suzy Kolber, 100% injury rate, and Blue Gray Sky get your own domain name. It costs $10 and takes about 5 minutes to do the appropriate switchover.

Now before you read the numbers, here is how I decided on this list. First, I can't track True Hoop or DC Sports Bog, so I estimated how much traffic they probably have. True Hoop may seem high but ESPN is probably driving a lot of extra traffic. Second, I only had the Alexa ranking on the blogger sites so I estimated where they should go. Third, I only included true Blog sites. I did not include Athlete blogs or blog networks (its easy to get high traffic when you have a 50 writers.)

Honorable Mention (Just missed cracking the top 25): Sports Frog, Heisman Pundit, Basball Crank, College Football Resource
