The Best Blog Posts of 2007

It's the end of another year, which means the hangovers get worse, the nose hairs grow longer, and the balls dangle lower. Fun times. Anyway, before we get tied up in 2008, we thought we'd take some time to salute the best blog posts of 2007 from around the blogosphere. I'll obviously start by apologizing, because I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great work from a lot of our friends, but these are some of the ones where I vividly remember laughing... hard. So, cheers to everyone on the list and thanks for doing this thing we do so well. Happy New Years folks and thanks for being a part of this weird, undeniably lame world we love so much.

• The first post to come to mind when I thought of this best of '07 list was from the hilarious dudes at Joe Sports Fan. It's the one and only, Tiki Barbaro. Genius. I wish I was that funny.
  

• Next, the Sports Hernia ran a hilarious 3 part review of the old caricature sports t-shirts. Check out all three here, here, and here. You won't be sorry.
  

• Unfortunately, I started reading the Spirit of Jake Plummer a little too late. Casualties of the day job, SOJ decided to hang it up after a great run. Apparently, the 19 cents a day wasn't motivation enough to spend endless hours slaving away over a blog. They make the best of the year with this damn funny list of alternative career choices for NFL coaches.
  

• Flyers Fieldhouse drafted a gut busting reply letter from Roger Goddell to Pac Man Jones regarding his appeal of his suspension.
  

• My Brain Says Rage dropped a great primer for creating a crappy sports blog. What's so bad about long blogrolls anyway?
  

• Stan's gay crush on Big Daddy Drew jumped about 10 notches after reading Ten Yards of Akwardness With: Prince
  

• Before he was mysteriously deported, Hank at Winning the Turnover Battle wrote an eye opening "Where are They Now" piece about sports movie tomboys. The results were quite a surprise.
  

• Finally, Stop Mike Lupica penned an angry rant about some of the crap that gets linked on Deadspin. Despite the fact that the whole post was directly aimed at us and highlighted how badly we suck, we pretty much agreed with the whole thing. We were kind of offended at the time, but it definitely raised some hell and ended the era of "no saying mean things in the blogosphere."

If anyone has other recommendations for the best posts of the year, feel free to email us or drop them in the comments. I suspect this list will evolve a bit over the course of the next few days. Cheers to another year and great work to all. Have fun on your New Years Eve and try not to black out for once.
