Rejected Sports Blog Names:
Papelblog
Because there’s always a danger that your best beloved blogsake will become a self-hype-buying parody who gives his kid the initials P.A.P.
Jerry Rice Bot
Kelly: “The fact that several years ago the real Jerry Rice was falsely imprisoned in Gitmo and it was the Jerry Rice Bot that appeared on Dancing with the Stars is something that’s very essential to both of our philosophies of sports fandom.” Katie: “Yeah, but I don’t want people thinking that it’s just a blog about Jerry Rice. Or a blog about robots.”
Every Day is Just Another Day Closer to the Day the 66 Bus Decides to Kill Me
Because we’re not technically an MBTA blog, we suppose. Although when the 66 bus does kill us, we’ll probably be traveling to and/or from viewing some type of sporting event. Kelly almost had to take the 66 bus home after The Superbowl That Shall Not Be Named, had someone not volunteered to give her a ride, that might have been the end of it, right then and there.
So, we’ll be running a primarily Boston-based operation here, but we reserve the right to talk about why Jerry Rice has been replaced by a robot, why Derek Jeter wrote a book bragging about how he had all his own teeth and all his own hair and whether we should be preparing to establish fictitious residencies in Alabama so we can vote there when Charles Barkley runs for governor.
You can read Katie’s sports blog manifesto here and five things that Kelly knows about sports here.
