No MORE F***ING SOCCER!!!!
>> Saturday
No doubt I am not the only one to notice some differences to our site over the past couple of weeks...
Understandably, there have been less posts due to graduation, but someone has to say it...TOO...MANY...SOCCER POSTS!
Damn it Sever, this is not your second soccer blog. We have a link to your "futbol" blog, so the remote population that is interest in soccer can visit that. There is no need to turn Yellow Chair into a soccer blog, because it most definitely is not supposed to be that. So stop posting soccer blogs at a a four-per-day rate!!! Damn it, we are trying to make this into a respectable (and more importantly, readable) sports blog.
On the same note, come on non-Sever bloggers. Pick up the slack (Myself included) and let's keep this going. There is clearly more intelligence in our sports-knowledgeable brains than the entier ESPN staff combined, so we are obliged to put our thoughts into to public sphere.
We are hitting that second month blogger's writing block, and if we let Sever write every post (no offense soccer geek, but actually total offense meant) we are going to have no readers come 6-6-06.
Now today was a good day and I'm not going to ignore that, but we have to keep this up on a day to day basis if we want to have so-called "fans."
Come on Yellow-Chair, it's time to stop being a bunch of bitches.
p.s. In case you haven't noticed by the writing/post time, I am drunk and pissed off.

Not to pile on you Mike, but I had this sentiment a week or two back also. It's not just the fact that you're talking soccer because variety is good. But keep in mind the concept of audience. If in fact you've plugged us on soccer message boards and have brought a lot of soccer fan readers who are also into other sports, then I stand corrected I guess.
But since this is a general sports blog, the big stories or the off-beat stuff is fine and dandy, but dissecting a column on some obscure soccer subject is not. Or the weekly MLS recaps...I don't even think that that style of recap during the NFL season would be valuable or interesting to our friends and other readers, and the NFL is something that many, many more people follow.
For the most part, we've avoided micro-analyzing really nuanced topics on any particular sport, and when we have (i.e. the top picks in the NFL draft, Neifi Perez sucking, NBA MVP), we've done so with topics that we assume a good number of people understand. Yeah, there's a double standard, but that's just how it is when readers like some sports more than others.
