Pimpin' ain't easy

Today feels more like a pointing day than writing day. So if you'll indulge me, my index finger is first directed at Kevin Antcliff's new blog. He's waiting for your attention and love, so give him a look. If you listen to Detroit sports talk radio, and are a fan of WDFN's Sean Baligian, Kevin has a quickie interview with him. Man, I don't get any interviews with members of the media. My lower lip is pouting with envy.

Next, my finger is pointing over at Deadspin, which probably doesn't need the pimpin', but will get it anyway. If you haven't checked it out before, Deadspin looks at the sports news of the day and the popular chatter in Blog Nation from a different angle than you might be used to seeing. All served up with generous portions of wit and snark, too. And for Detroit sports fans, they've posted a few entries which might pique your interest.

▪▪ Want some dirt on the "Bad Boy" Detroit Pistons from a former beat writer? (End of the Bench and True Hoop have more on this.)

▪▪ Who hates the Michigan Wolverines in the blogosphere?

▪▪ How popular is the Tigers' Kenny Rogers with the ladies?

▪▪ Mitch Albom: Love him or hate him?

▪▪ Which blogs hate the Detroit Red Wings?

I'm putting the finger away. Back to writing tomorrow - I hope.
