-Kevin O'Brien goes through blogs like the Denver Broncos go through running backs. As part of his summer pledge to cover the San Francisco Giants every day before he heads off to start his ministry studies, Kevin started a new blog: Remember '51, dedicated to covering the Giants and the game of baseball. It's a must-read for all baseball fans, and especially for those in the Bay Area.

-My friend (and huge Chicago Cubs fan) Jessica Michaels is a news photographer for KOAA in Colorado Springs, and has been chronicling her experience in her blog "A Year in the Life of a News Photographer." It gives a great look behind the scenes at the things that make newscasts run. Her last post touches on how the departure of two reporters changes the role of everyone else in the newsroom. As her blog proves, there's always so much more than what you see on TV.

-Well, finally, Gonzaga is adding more big-name teams to their season schedule. Too bad most of those teams lost most of their star power to the NBA draft. But still, maybe this is the start of better things, where the Kennel will actually have some top-tier teams visit the McCarthey Center on a regular basis.

-Right on cue, EA Sports is quickly adding Michael Vick to the Eagles' roster in Madden '10. Gamers everywhere are rejoicing at the fact that they can now dominate the game again.

-The Blazers will be loaded at every position this season, which raises the question: whose minutes get cut down?

-If you are looking for good college sports news, sometimes a good place to look is at the school newspaper. A lot of times, those reporters can find access to teams and write stories from angles that aren't being presented anywhere else. The Gonzaga Bulletin just posted it's first issue of the year, and Zags beat writer Zach Stratton has a look at some of the team's incoming players.
