Sam Smith review


I would like to review the blog of the Chicago Bulls’ beat writer Sam Smith. He has been with the team for a decent amount of time now and I just think some of his articles get the hopes up of so many fans now a days, with me being one of them. A couple years ago when the free agency class was full of so much talent, including the ‘Big 3’ of Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and LeBron James, he produced articles saying how the bulls had the money and team that would be most attractive to those three and the chances of signing them to come to Chicago was high. But what happened? They all signed with the Miami Heat obviously making fans very upset because they were being led to believe the Bulls were going to have another dynasty run like what they did in the 90’s with Michael Jordan. Being a beat writer I just think you should have more inside knowledge of what you are producing and know that the fans what to know reality, and they do not want to be led on to believe something is going to happen when in reality there is no chance of it. Now articles that he writes, I do not even read anymore. I am personally sick and annoyed of what he has to say because what he says seems to never be true and I think the Bulls’ should think about hiring a new writer to report for the team so fans will have something more truthful to read about.

Dan Patrick blog review


I would like to promote the blog of Dan Patrick who writes posts for Sports Illustrated. He is also featured on the Dan Patrick radio show and works for NBC’s Sunday night football in America. Dan has been around the sports world for many years and I really enjoy the interviews he does and writes about. He posts them through Sports Illustrated. Dan also used to work for ESPN before deciding to break away and become a bigger hit on his own. While also being a very well respected sports writer, he has been featured in movies because he is known for his humor and making people laugh in any situation. That is what I really like about Dan. He likes to make the best out of any situation. Like if a team is struggling, he will take phone calls on his radio show for example and kind of make fun of a team to relieve some stress from hardcore fans that they have for their teams. Dan is one of the most famous sports journalists of all time and is probably at the top from a person I would like to meet in the sporting world. He is living every man’s dream who loves sports. His radio studio is named “The Man Cave” because his crew is all guys and they just sit there and talk sports for a couple hours in the morning while making tons of money throughout the year. Dan Patrick is a true inspiration for sports writers everywhere.

Review blogpost


I would like to promote the writing of Pantagraph writer and blogger, Jim Benson. He is the beat writer for many sports around the Bloomington/ Normal area. The one sport that I really follow that he happens to write about is the Illinois State University Men’s Basketball team. I follow his writings because I happen to be a student assistant to the basketball program. I follow what he writes to see if what he is saying is actually the truth and to see whether or not what coaches say to the press is pretty much true or way off. Jim Benson is very dedicated to his work and is very passionate about what he does. For example, last year when the university was in the process of hiring a new basketball coach because former coach, Tim Jankovich , left for Southern Methodist University to become the coach in waiting behind Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown, Jim thought he knew and was going to be the first one to break who was going to become the next head coach at Illinois State. But really, what happened was that he got erroneous information from an “inside source” and happened to make a fool of himself and wrote a big apology article. So I respect what he does work wise because he is hard working and very dedicated, but I think he should be more patient when it comes to writing articles. The Pantagraph “network” is small and less credible compared to someone writing for ESPN or Sports Illustrated.

Jayson Stark's Blogs


I would like to promote the blog of Jayson Stark who covers Major League Baseball for ESPN. The blog was posted at the beginning of October covering the different playoff scenarios. Playoff rules changed this year for baseball and there were some scenarios that happened that took the playoff chase down to the wire. At the beginning of the last day of the regular season, only one playoff game was set, the Braves and the Cardinals. He does a great job of going into great detail about each scenario about what could happen and who would end up playing who. Jayson Stark is well respected around baseball for his inside coverage for America’s game. He always has the latest and up to date information that huge fans want to know. He does a good job of dumbing it down for the amateur of fans, but also goes into the great depth that people are in the know about everything that goes on. I really enjoy reading his blogs and what he has to say. A lot of the time he is on TV explaining the same thing he has wrote about or is going to write about, so you can hear what he has to say to through your TV. If you would like to check out his blogs, either go to the MLB section on ESPN’s website or you can simply google Jayson Stark. Everything he writes about has a purpose and I really enjoy that about his posts.

Product Recommendation Again


Here’s to another product recommendation for my store! The product I will be talking about today is the hood sweatshirt with my company’s logo on it. It is a cotton sweatshirt that is extremely warm and comfortable for those days when it is a bit chilly outside. It makes a great gift for anyone who loves my store or sports memorabilia because people know my store. People are probably wondering what size to order in case it shrinks, but I promise you that it will not, otherwise you will get 100% of your money back. A lot of sweatshirts come tight in the neck also, and I made sure when I designed this product that it did not come this way. I have seen people that ruin new sweatshirts by cutting it at the corner of the hood to give them more neck room and it looks bad, plus it is also a waste of money. So be sure to buy this product from my store, you will love it. Again, thanks again for visiting my blog and reading what I have to say about my business. Also by buying this sweatshirt, it helps give my company more publicity. The more, the better to me. I am trying to make this the best sports memorabilia store around so word of mouth and wearing around the logo will help me out significantly. I also want to reiterate that I’m here for the customers, so if you have any ideas for products, please feel free to suggest them to me.

Dri-fit shirt!


Again, welcome back to my blog for my online store. The one and only, hopefully to become famous soon, Blake’s Hall of Fame Sports Memorabilia. My goal is to make this experience as fulfilling and easy as possible. If you are on the website trying to get some gift ideas, I do have some recommendations for you to try to make this process easier. Some things I would recommend are the clothing items that we have available that have the store’s name a logo on it. These may just be normal clothing products, but if the store is going to turn out like I planned, you can say you were one of the first people to shop from my store. We have a wide range of clothes to offer, but the product that I am going to recommend to you is the Dri-fit white t-shirt. Dri-fit shirts are the new technology whether playing sports or wearing shirts recreationally. They feel lighter and softer, but they also absorb moisture and wetness. For athletes, this is huge. Athletes sweat like crazy and that can make it hard in controlling their respective sports object, like pitching a baseball or throwing a football because sweat is dripping down their arm to their hands. If you buy this shirt, it will absorb wetness in the sleeve so it does not get down to your hand. Be sure you make the purchase today for your athlete that is competing every day to make you proud and also give him the competitive advantage.
