This blog is not about sports, granted. But ATG used to write these previews during college and we think you'd agree the NFL is infinitely more interesting than Kid Cudi.
More importantly, hip-hop, over rivaling genres, is woven with American sports into a two-way, perfectly symbiotic establishment. Michael Phelps shares his affinity for Lil Wayne during his Chinese medal bonanza, then he introduces a Weezy performance at an awards show, then Lil Wayne writes a song about Phelps.
Rappers praise. Athletes listen. Most involved with either love the other and lines are crossed.
There's the justification. Also, I need to switch gears and stop writing about Jay-Z.
Moreover, if you're like the minds behind ATG, you're burning for kickoff extra hard right now. Maybe it's the way things ended last year for Cowboys fans, the brimming excitement behind extra-compelling preseason storylines, the lack of faith in baseball's modern era, the lack of American hegemony in soccer, the fact golf is more interesting when golf balls are neon colored and putts avoid windmills and dinosaurs, or that football provides the most thrilling competitive action available on my off-brand HD TV, but I'm fucking jacked.
Smell the glove here.

Not bad...but really idiotic to think Jacksonville wins 11 games. Thats ludicrous.
-Arizona was 9-7 last year.
-You're way too high on Cincy. They haven't been drafting too well lately. Case in point, Andre Smith. They have enough to beat the Browns, but they aren't ready to compete with Pitt and Balt.
good looking out on the '08 cardinals clarification. doesn't change argument in any way, but appreciated call out.
cincy's draft was among the best in '09. certainly the boldest. it comes down to whether or not you believe in their risks.
andre smith will be a cornerstone lineman, you're tripping there.
ray maualuga should not have been on the board in the second round. ditto for missouri tight end chase coffman in round three and the end from georgia tech. whatsisface.
all guys will be on the field in 2009 making moves.
smith could've been something great, but it's like he had an expiration date of 01/01/09. he's totally imploded this year and currently shows no signs of resolving his issues.
my biggest problem with cincy is that they made me look foolish for believing in them the past few years. they burned me too many times.
Hi there guys, all woman's situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but never see or feel those of the future
I will twitter this post last week
I was pulling for Holland. Spain seemed to do just enough each game to win. They weren't very exciting to watch, but congrats to them!
Excellent job.
Good post, thanks

A good day for tossing a baseball around. Where did I hide the glove?
Kanye is extremely gifted. Very emotional. Speaks his thoughts anytime he feels like it. I value that.
I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
