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.
