Review of “Bama Profiles in Courage: Laykin”: (Capers) Barr flexes through an emotional range that most writers would never dare attempt … Humor and Bama sorrow are fused together like twined tree trunks that keep each other standing…..It’s part satire, part character study, with a wry lens on fame, fandom, and the modern South. Well done, Capers, well done.”– Ian Allen, The Times Literary Supplement.

On this 4th of July, posting will be extremely light. Welcome to a new blogger, Dswinder from Sons of Sam Malone.

I have recently joined Ballhype sports social networking site and found this sharticle on the AOL Fanhouse [link]. The article discusses how AOL is building a blogging empire.  We suspect that the guy in this pic is Orson Swindle from EDSBS

We think that he works for Alltel:

Apparently, someone had already submitted the LWS as an all sports blog. We are running about the middle of the pack on overall rankings in case you were wondering. Oh yeah here is a Ball Hype article excerpt:

By all accounts, FanHouse has been a remarkably successful experiment: launched less than a year ago, it now tops one site’s sports blog rankings and gets more traffic than most of us would dare forecast even in a Deadspin link-induced state of irrational exuberance. Jamie Mottram has recruited so many bloggers (61 and counting) that one might fear plans of total and crushing domination if he weren’t such a nice guy.

Many of the FanHouse writers are among the best sports bloggers around, and what’s really impressive is that they manage to inform and entertain the masses on FanHouse while maintaining and even growing their own blogs (for the most part).

Here is some Tuna for the holiday Carmen Garcia from Bring Back Ugly

and from another favorite tuna site, Hottest Girls on MySpace. I have a myspace account and none of these chicks ever visit me….
