We love voting. And while I’ve seen numerous sports blog contests before, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one about this: Best Sports Blog Name.
A great blog name may not be indicative of great design, great content or great writing, though often they are. But these folks definitely came up with great names and we should reward them. You want to crown them? Yeah, I do.
What will they win? They will win the honor of being the first ever Zoner Sports “Best Sports Blog Name” Contest champion. They can put a little picture on their sidebar that states they are the glorious winner. It will not garner them an increase in advertising or traffic or cred. But they will be champs. And all of sports blogdom will bow down. For like 10 or 15 seconds. Until they move on…to read the next list or contest.
We have 48 blogs in this tourney. Did I miss one? Did I miss yours? Sorry. I scoured BallHype, Yardbarker and countless blogrolls to find what I think are the most clever and/or coolest titles. If I didn’t include one, maybe next year. Since 48 will eventually bring us to 3 names, I’ll take the highest vote getter in the previous round to make a Final Four. How did I come up with the seeds? Arbitrarily. But if your favorite is good enough to win, it will advance.
The regions are named after former Chicago players that had great names.
Without further ado…I present Round 1 of the Zoner Sports Best Sports Blog Name Contest.
Vote until Sunday night and then Monday we move to the top 24. Thanks for voting!

We’re going to run away with the Granville Waiters Region!
http://www.waitingfornextyear.com Scott @ WFNY
Wow. Waiting For Next Year snubbed in a name tourney?

We Should Be GM’s is proud to be in the tourney, and we’re gunnin’ for the victory!

Can we at Two Big Boobs get into some sort of NIT tourney for best sports blog name?
Keevo
no Thoughts From the Jockstrap?
and no Two Big Boobs?
http://zonersports.com The Zoner
I never heard of Two Big Boobs until now. Honestly though, I wouldn’t have included it anyway.
http://www.twobigboobs.wordpress.com JRod
I’m sorry you feel that way Zoner.

I told them a thousand times that I wanted to name the site “Lindacohnsmeatcurtains.com,” but my co-editors went with Mass Hysteria instead, and look who didnt qualify. See kids? When in doubt, reference hanging labia in your URL.

Girls Don’t Know Sports gets not love. If there was an NIT I would pull a Maryland and refuse to show up for the game.

I predict The Global Sports Fraternity to take down Girls Don’t Know Sports in a first round NIT upset that will propel the GSF to the glory that is the NIT championship defeating Ladies… in the finals.

From the post (has anybody read this part??): “We have 48 blogs in this tourney. Did I miss one? Did I miss yours? Sorry. I scoured BallHype, Yardbarker and countless blogrolls to find what I think are the most clever and/or coolest titles. If I didn’t include one, maybe next year.”
I’m with Scott.
“Waiting For Next Year” pretty much explains an entire city…..
Sigh.

I love the name “Two Big Boobs”. Why are you such a prude, Zoner?
http://zonersports.com The Zoner
Waiting For Next Year will have to…Wait for next year. Certainly nothing personal–I’m a fan of the site!
http://www.asternwarning.com mookie
A Stern Warning is very proud to get a mention! All votes are gleefully accepted… and if you don’t vote for us, well, you’ve been warned!

I think the Name Tourney is a great idea. Maybe next year I’ll have more than 6 readers and you’ll have heard of my blog. You had to be ready for any bubble blogs to bitch about it. We are sports bloggers. It’s what we do.

Five Tool Tool FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
(And hopefully, my blog gains enough steam to warrant consideration next year.)
http://www.twobigboobs.wordpress.com JRod
and no Two Big Boobs?
I love the name “Two Big Boobs”. Why are you such a prude, Zoner?
Sounds like a ringing endorsement for a spot next year
Big D
Great post, Zoner. I’m going to google “Two Big Boobs” now. Sounds like fun for the whole family.

I’d decry the omission of Big League Stew in this comment space, but I’m more shocked that you left out Luol’s Dong.
http://thelionsinwinter.blogspot.com Ty @ The Lions in Winter
Big fan of The Wayne Fontes Experience . . . “Pippen Ain’t Easy” is going to shock the world, though.
Peace

and how could you have forgotten the Goat Riders of the Apocalypse?
Chris P
They all suck
SR
Because Goat Riders of the Apocalypse blows on a level of suck only outdone by Bleed Cubbie Blue.
Hire Jim Essian is the best name on this list.
Melrose’s Mullet should definitely be on this bracket. How did that not qualify? Straight up Bushleague
sam jackson jr
wait, hold up:
sons of steve garvey? rips off sons of sam horn
and no contest could be complete without the genius surviving grady website
http://www.bearsbacker.com Jake Perper
why not my blog Bears Backer
http://zonersports.com The Zoner
Here are your answers:
Because Bears Backer isn’t really all that clever.
Is Sons of Sam Horn even a blog? i thought it was a message board.
Mad respect for Surviving Grady, but didn’t include it. Sorry.
Never heard of Melrose’s Mullet.
I guess 2 things have really been reinforced by this tourney. One, people really take this stuff seriously and two, nobody can piss and moan like sports bloggers.

Why not my blog, Spooning Trey Wingo? I kid, I kid.
http://www.smokingwithhank.wordpress.com Smoking With Hank
Dont Worry, we all know that my blog, although just starting is already on a Gonzaga in 1999 like fast track to hearts of millions of americans who stare at a computer screen. With some pimping from SI’s Hot Clicks I know Im ready to make a run for next year.
Come on everyone and Bum a smoke from Hank Steinbrenner
