01.06.09 SAINT ANDREW’S NET: THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  It has an integrity of spirit for which you could only dream.

• Big League Stew interviews a crazy man.  Because… dude, 1983 Fleer? At least do something cool, like ‘87 Topps or ‘89 Upper Deck.  **masturbates to Beckett’s Monthly**
• The ballots for the Weblog Awards are out, and With Leather is nominated for Best Sports Blog.  However, I recommend voting for Kissing Suzy Kolber.  My best stuff is over there anyway.
• The Sporting Blog on the annual BCS/national title “discussion.”  As ever, an incisive, measured insight into college football from Spencer Hall.  Now stop saying he’s my boyfriend!  I love Michelle Trachtenberg, not him.
• Is someone in NBC’s NFL studio getting off to 3-D ads?  Well, who doesn’t?  [Best Week Ever]
• The NFL season in four and a half minutes of highlights.  NFL.com assumes that your attention span is 1.4 seconds.  Hey, over here!  Stop waving to the puppy.
• This is why I respect Sports By Brooks: that’s some solid gossip history right there.
