A Final “Vote for Me” Note from Fatty: This is the last time I’m gonna ask (mainly because voting closes this Sunday): Go vote for me for the 2010 Bloggies. I’m nominated in the Best Sports Blog, the Best Writing, and the Blog of the Year categories, but I’ll let you in on a secret: I don’t have even the hope of a wish of the notion of a prayer in any category but the Best Sports Blog. Why? Well, because in the Best Writing and Blog of the Year categories, I’m up against blogs which have crossed what I call The Professional Threshold — blogs where people either do or could make a living with their blogs (I, on the other …

A Reminder-Style Note from Fatty : I need your help in my ongoing quest to be a perpetually award-winning blogger. So please do me a favor and nominate me for a 2010 Bloggie , in the “Best Sports Weblog” category.

Today, I am going to violate one of my own cardinal rules of blogging: “Don’t blog about blogging.” There’s a very good set of reasons for this rule, not the least of which has to do with the potential triggering of a catastrophic time-bending recursion paradox. But the more likely scenario of blogging about blogging is that...

To me, part of what makes a traditional cycling event a great tradition is that as much as possible of that event remains consistent....
The bicycle is wonderful for a near-infinite number of reasons, but perhaps the most extraordinary is the fact that, when properly built up, a bicycle can coast. When you are going downhill, you can stop working and yet keep going; perhaps you’ll even go faster. You can take short breaks on level ground, too. You can, amazingly, even coast...

With every word I write, I am generating cold hard cash and a working wage for all the people who depend on me. In other words, I consider this blog a business, and I like to think that anyone who reads this blog...
Hey. Whatcha doing on November 7 this year? You don’t know? No special plans? Oh, well that’s OK. I generally don’t plan that far ahead either. In fact, I generally try to never plan ahead further than lunch (turkey-lettuce-tomato-avacodo on wheat is my current intention, though I reserve the right to be lazy and just reheat...

Team RadioShack won’t be going to the Giro d’Italia this year — but that was the team’s choice rather than a snub by organizers RCS Sport, says Johan Bruyneel. Writing on his blog, Bruyneel confirmed that RadioShack would not be racing the Giro, adding, “but the truth is that we communicated this to the Giro organizers, RCS. I like the...
