Top 15 Team Blogs
We can't get a blogroll working right now (someday), so here's the next best thing. Here are my 15 favorite NFL team blogs that I try to visit as often as possible. General NFL blogs don't apply. I'll get some flak for concentrating on mainstream media, but I'm a news junkie. I like information first, inside analysis next. Quality and quantity are both important, but highly inconsistent posters generally were overlooked. The ranking isn't that important; I just wanted to get the links out to everyone still hungry after visiting Rotoworld. Let's go...
15. Bucs Report on the Tampa Tribune
14. Mason's Morsels on DenverBroncos.com is one of two team website blogs to make the list. Consistent and often breaking information.
13. The Blue Screen - The NY Daily News' Giants blog. The amount of New York team blogs makes them hard to separate (Newsday is also solid), but this one stands out.
12. Palm Beach Post's Dolphins blog - Like the New York blogs, It's hard to seperate the multiple solid Dolphins blogs ( The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is great too), but this one goes the extra mile with live practice blogs and tape analysis.
11. The best blog on a team website is Inside the Bills by Chris Brown. Very consistent year-round.
10. Ravens Central - Not a huge volume of material, but the analysis from Mike Preston especially is excellent.
9. Dallas Morning News Cowboys Blog - Matt Mosley is gone, but the blog remains strong.
8. Seahawks Insider would be in the top two, but Mike Sando also left for ESPN. The blog still looks solid under Frank Hughes. And why is Sando not blogging for the Worldwide Leader yet?
7. It's clear Tom Kowalksi loves football and loves covering the Lions in his Lions Insider blog on MLive.com. And he's not afraid to throw a lot of opinions out there.
6. Inside the Raiders with Jerry McDonald is a riser. Consistent posts and a lot of honest analysis that may not get into the paper.
4 & 5. Reiss' Pieces and The Point After are both excellent Patriots blogs from the competing Boston papers. Reiss' blog on the Globe gets an edge for making the rest of the locals step up to his consistent coverage, but the Herald's "Tale of the Tape" feature is among the best of any kind on the web.
3. John McClain's Texans Blog doesn't update quite as much in the offseason as the other blogs here. But McClain is one of the deans of NFL writing, and his knowledge and personality shine in the blog format. In-season, he comes strong, funny, honest, and often detailed. The love for football is obvious.
2. It's sort of ridiculous to rank blogs, especially when I like them all so much. The top eight was especially difficult to sort out. Matt Maiocco's Instant 49ers blog gets the nod this high because of the sheer volume and quality inside 49ers information he dishes out. He's a source that's easy to trust.
1. Jason LaCanfora has the ideal team blog qualities on the Washington Post's Redskins Insider: Inside information, fast-breaking news, humor, personality, and all the rest. I'll stop sucking up to him now.
Let me know which blogs I missed and where you disagree. We'll try this again next year.
