Being a sport fan with access to the internet allows you to really interact and follow sports/teams/individual players. It gives you a place to give your opinions and comment on topics: like hanging out with friends and strangers at a virtual sports bar.
First, let's look at blogs. Being first and foremost a Philly fan, I check out The 700 Level daily. It gives a general overview of what is happening in the City of Brotherly Love. Loving the Eagles, I catch up on opinions of the on the Eagles' Eye blog. A good one for the Flyers is Flyers Goal Scored By. Finally, I used to follow the Fightin' Phillies on the the Fightins.com, but their blog is suspended by their host. I really like how you can follow blogs on Facebook to see if you want to pop over and check a post.
As for the 76'ers, nobody cares about them. Nobody.
I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I have to limit what I listen to. There are only so many hours in a day. My favorite Eagles on is EaglesFanCast. Also a blog, I really prefer the podcast as it is more balanced on points of view and not all bashing Andy Reid.
A lot of athletes and commentators are on Twitter, but I really don't have time to follow them. My life is busy enough. I figured if it is ground-breaking and important either on of the blogs or ESPN will have it.
Finally, although not a Philly sports blog, I check Uniwatch blog daily. It discusses, gives opinions, and speculate about sports uniforms and people are able to submit their ideas for a uniform "tweak". Just plain fun.
