Write On Lang!

I know I've linked to Slamonline.com before, but am linking back again today because I'm happy for the guy who writes it. Lang is an important part of my everyday life, and though we'll never meet, I'm happy for him. See, he writes the blog that I look forward to reading during my lunch break. I've been going to the slamonline website regularly since it was nothing more than an online archive of all the articles from a magazine I've already bought. I've enjoyed watching Lang make his mark on the site. Its become a place for hoopaholics like me to get journalist quality links to other great articles about basketball, commentary from people at some of the games, and some just-plain-cool links like the recent picture of david bowie getting a spoon tossed in his eye. Wow, it sounds like I'm really trying to suck up to Lang. I'm not. Why would a Lakerfan like myself want tickets to a Hawks game? The Clippers are just as bad and a whole lot closer. Its that I respect what he does as a writer, and am glad that Sports Illustrated has allowed him to start his own blog on their site each week. Lang, to his credit, keeps his cool. In Monday's post he writes: In an effort to keep my ego in check, they spelled my name wrong on the header. So from now until they fix it, we will keep referring to them as Sports Illllllllustrated.
Am I selling out? I wish. I'll gladly sell out, if the price is right. But since Sports Illlllllllustrated is paying me only in surplus football phones, it's kind of a wash.
