Top 10 Websites That You Visit
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? . . . . |

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. |

In no particular order:
ESPN.com CNN.com FOFC (Duh!) .400 Software Studios forums (more to lurk than post, I'm afraid) MLSnet (mainly to catch up on MLS News & TV Schedule, since I bought the Shootout package for the first time this year). EBay (World's Most Dangerous Web site) Amazon.com Epicurious.com (I like to cook) Matrix Games Writers.net

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..

Oh.. Lest me not forget Phil Hendrie Show.com
Also, with all the current NCAA Conference Realignment Mumbo Jumbo going on, the NCAA Realignment Site/Message Boards is a site I've been frequenting as well. Oh, and I also tend to check out MK's UCF TCY Dynasty Site from time to time.. (Nice little Self-Plug there). PS - CTH was the only person to mention The Onion.com? Come on now Fellas..
