Top Ten Chicago Sports Blogs

Tremendous Upside Potential would certainly make this list- because it is awesome- but seeing as that is my site, I was told by our five other writers (or, if you want to get fancy, editors) that ranking myself number one would be totally unacceptable. Whatever. Here’s a list of some the best Chicago sports blogs on the internets.

10. Chip Shots

It’s a struggle putting up a new post every day (we should know), but Chip Ramsey pulls it off without a problem. The links around the web are always enjoyable, but the White Sox and Bears coverage makes this site one of our favorites. Taking subtle shots at the Packers and Brewers doesn’t hurt either.

9. Thank You Isiah

Though they keep the posts short, TYI’s message is always clear: Hey Jim Boylan, you are a moron. Bonus points for backing Tyrus and Noah and bashing Aaron Gray.

8. Bleed Cubbie Blue

The first of three SB Nation blogs to appear, BCB is known for having some of the most passionate commenters around.

7. Luol’s Dong

Even if we might occasionally disagree with an opinion (how could you not want Rand-o Moss on the Bears?), the banner at the bottom is earns them a spot on this lists single-handedly.

6. South Side Sox

The White Sox SB Nation blog always keeps things in perspective. We tend to agree with these guys on Kenny Williams, Jerry Owens, and Joe Crede amongst others. Whether the Sox are good or bad in 2008, SSS will always be an enjoyable read.

5. Da Bears Blog

The Bears may be Chicago’s most beloved team, but the internet is light on blogs dedicated to them. Da Bears Blog is the best, bringing news from the papers and internet for the Bears and other teams around the NFL.

4. Sox Machine

Jim covers the White Sox better then anyone else. His videos and pictures from spring training and minor league games set the site apart.

3. Foul Balls

Unlike every other site on this list, Foul Balls is updated multiple times every day (usually 3-5) by AOL Fanhouse’s Tom Fornelli. You know a blog is established when Mariotti starts stealing from it.

2. Blog-a-Bull

TrueHoop’s praise in the upper right hand corner seems fitting: Blog-a-Bull is run the way a team oriented blog is meant to. Matt maintains the site and offers analysis, but the commenters make it one of the best NBA sites on the internet.

1. Rosenblog

Why doesn’t the Trib let Steve Rosenbloom have a column every day in the paper? The best example of a blog from the mainstream Chicago media, Rosenbloom updates almost every day and isn’t afraid to take shots at Chicago sports biggest stars.

I agree with, "Why doesn’t the Trib let Steve Rosenbloom have a column every day in the paper? The best example of a blog from the mainstream Chicago media, Rosenbloom updates almost every day and isn’t afraid to take shots at Chicago sports biggest stars." He's got to be the best sports blog in [url=http://chicagohotels.itravel.bz/]Chicago Il[/url] by far. No one else comes close.
