What are your favorite sports blogs?

I read Deadspin pretty much daily, as well as Grantland (not a blog, but not traditional news, either).
I'll check sites like Kissing Suzy Kolber, With Leather, Every Day Should Be Saturday, and Awful Announcing from time to time, but usually if I am just bored.
KenPom is great for stats on college basketball, but I'll admit that a lot of it is over my head. And he is charging for more info than before.
Soccer By Ives is very informative but for a niche audience (American soccer fans).
I've never really checked out the Big Lead or Sports by Brooks, but I've seen a lot of people on this site link to the sites. Is Brooks a site that just focuses on athletes committing crimes mostly? That's the impression I get.
Does anyone read the Classical or Joe Blog (Joe Posnanski's site)? I've heard good things about both but haven't had the time to look at them yet. I believe Classical is from the guys who did Free Darko before shutting that down.
So what do blogs do you guys read? What's the best part about them? And which ones do you think are overrated?

I typically don't read sports blogs for a number of reasons, but I do have a few bookmarked that I check maybe once a month or so.
Sports by Brooks (To much sandusky crap lately)
The Dream Shake - Houston Rockets blog
Crawfish Boxes - Houston Astros blog, but I only follow baseball when the astros are good so I haven't really checked it with any regularity in the last few years.
30fps - not really a blog, just funny and sports related
Barking Carnival - Longhorn blog but I don't read it often because I feel like for the most part they're a bunch of sunshine pumpers. I want the actual not story from behind rainbow colored glasses.
Smart Football - It's interesting and I always find something to read/watch/think about there but I rarely go...not sure why.

Deadspin (but I don't really think it is a blog) and EDSBS
EDSBS has to be one of the best college football sites right now.

i wish free darko was still around

Yeah, I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Very funny pics 
SFP, I checked out the Classical earlier today and wasn't super impressed with it. But it seems like the guy who did Free Darko is just the editor/curator and isn't writing for the site. Instead, I think he writes for GQ.

Did you read either of his books? I've been wondering if they're worth checking out.
Posted on 6/23/12 at 5:40 pm to floridatigah
No, I haven't. The only book I read from a blogger was The Book of Basketball from Bill Simmons.
I think I'm going to read the book about Bonzi Wells playing in China next.

I read the BoB as well, I liked it, but it seems like Shoals books might be a little more entertaining.
Haven't heard of that Bonzi book, but I bet it's pretty good, let me know if you read it. They might have to follow up with a JR Smith one, his sister and hood rat girlfriend, missing 80 practices, and who knows what else he got into.

Mark Titus' book is worth the read as a college basketball fan.
It's a shame he didn't request a medical redshirt for his explosive bowels. Club Trillion was college basketball gold.

Club Tril was my favorite sports blog ever, elevator story is one of the greatest accounts ever written. I keep forgetting about his book, I'm definitely going to read it next month when traveling. Outside of his Oden piece, his stuff for Grantland hasn't been very good IMO.

It is. Plus they fueled the Craig James Killed 5 Hookers meme, one of the best memes ever.
