22 Men on the Field=Football (Again)

Hi All,

As you might have realized from this post - and from a few others that we've posted recently - we are pretty big football fans here at the library. We love a hard fought, well strategized, team effort. And that friends is what football is all about.

Forthwith a list of 4 football blogs that should not be missed. Well, okay, if you are watching the game, maybe then you can skip these blog entries...but remember, there is always time after the game to check out these blogs.

1. AdvancedNFLStats if you like statistics, then you will love this site. You can sort all sorts of defensive and offensive statistics here. Woohoo! You can also sort stats team-by-team!

2. Pro Football Reference Blog This site is a small tribute to my reference beginnings since I am a reference librarian. On the left side of the site you can pull up entries by category and more. Interesting site - worth a look, but the blog is linked to Pro-Football-Reference.com which is another statistics filled website. Click here to enter that site.

3. Jets Confidential. Dan Leberfeld created this blog and he says that he has been following the Jets for the last 16 years. Okay, so are his insights interesting? You bet? Is the blog easy to read? Yep. Does it cost anything (unlike other free blogs)? There is a Premium member section which you have to pay to gain access to...so I don't know if that part of the blog is worth it since I didn't sign up...but the rest of the blog looks interesting. Assuming you are a Jets fan.

4. GiantsFootballBlog Same idea as the JetsConfidential blog mentioned above. In addition the blog has a Multimedia section and a link to other Resources. Definitely worth looking at if you are Giant fan. Blog is an offshoot of SNY.tv's website.

Last, I would be remiss if I didn't advertise the library card catalog and the books that users can find if you search for 'football' in the card catalog. Click here to see the results of this search - which gives over 600 results!

Here is a a complete freebie blog/website: I did a basic search for 'tailgating and football and recipes'. The best site of the lot seems to be this link from MyRecipes.com. The recipes and pix make a football fans' mouth water! Yum.

Enjoy the blogs, and the sites and of course, the games!
Regards,
Stu
