We're all very different people here. It may be interesting to see what we're all into hobby-wise. What are the top 10 (non-FOFC) websites that you visit?

Blacky's Top 10 (in no particular order)

1. Blues' News - Gaming news

2. Gone Gold - Gaming news and great writing

3. ESPN - I don't even watch sports much anymore

4. Steelers.Com - Keep up with my favorite team

5. OddTodd - Funny as hell if you've ever been laid off

6. CNN - All the news fit to print

7. CNNSI - More sports

8. Nerve.Com - Good sex stuff (Literotica.Com could be here too)

9. www.jessespeer.com - My favorite Rockies photographer

10. Ebay.com - It's like the world's biggest yard sale.

3. ESPN - I don't even watch sports much anymore

Same here except in the past month or so, I have been having trouble getting to the front page. There is nothing reading more substance about a game/event/player instead of the soundbite-driven nature of TV sports news (NFL PrimeTime excepting of course).

9. www.jessespeer.com - My favorite Rockies photographer

and I'm not? :( . . . . :D

To be honest, I'm not even sure if there are ten websites I visit on a regular basis; I have a hard time finding much to interest me. That being said, here are the ones I visit the most, no particular order:

www.espn.com: IMO the best sports website, but I suppose that's open for debate

www.detnews.com: Detroit News website; I always read it every morning at work during breaks

www.football365.com: Good soccer website with heavy emphasis on the English game

www.detroitlions.com: Home page for my Lions!

www.sigames.com: CM4's website, mainly for the stories, some very good dynasty writing on there if you haven't checked it out yet.

www.channel955.com: (self-promotion #1) radio station I work at

www.aaamich.com: (self-promotion #2) I work there doing traffic reports as well

www.michiguide.com: rumors/news/gossip site for Michigan-based broadcasting

And I can easily go a couple weeks without going to any other websites. Guess the magic of the internet is wearing off for me.

EBay (World's Most Dangerous Web site)
Amazon.com
Epicurious.com (I like to cook)

1. Baseball Primer
2. Baseball Prospectus
3. voyeurweb.com - best free porn site
4. bodog.com - great online sportsbook
5. covers.com - gambling resource, stuff like umpire's R/G
6. .400 forums
7. Baseball-Reference.com
8. sportspages.com
9. commissioner.com/wf - roto baseball league
10. ctnow.com - Hartford Courant online
11. countingcrows.com
12. baseballamerica.com
13. rockcats.com - home of the New Britain Rock Cats
14. logoserver.com
15. uconnhuskies.com

Really in no order - Primer and Baseball-reference are probably my two favorite sites on the Internet.

I have a bunch of boring health insurance websites that I have to read at work, but I don't think that was the thrust of this exercise.

Unfortunately for the Golden Knights, the one thing they've really struggled with in the past few years, is VT's Huge Offensive Strength.. UCF's Defense against the Run must improve, or this could be a long, drawn out day for the Knights.. Unfortunately.

Realistically I'm not expecting a Golden Knight victory, but I would definitely like to see this one played at least a bit closer than the previous two matchups with the Hokies. UCF is improving year by year, and I'll think you'll get a look at that for yourself in a couple of months..

Also, with all the current NCAA Conference Realignment Mumbo Jumbo going on, the NCAA Realignment Site/Message Boards (http://www.clearstage.com/sports/grid/) is a site I've been frequenting as well.

Oh, and I also tend to check out MK's UCF TCY Dynasty Site (http://www.geocities.com/mylesknight/) from time to time.. (Nice little Self-Plug there). :D
