Off Wing Opinion

Thanks to Forbes.com, which just named Off Wing Opinion the second-best sports blog in its most recent "Best Blogs" feature.

Here's what Forbes.com's Davide Dukcevich had to say about Off Wing:

There's very little sports news that Eric McErlain won't take an opinionated whack at. Recent musings on his Off Wing Opinion blog have covered women's soccer, the De La Hoya-Mosley fight and the fate of the Montreal Expos. The Reston, Va., resident supplies an impressively informed point of view on every topic he targets.

And though we're not number one, I was flattered that Forbes rated Off Wing #1 in terms of reputation.

Finishing in first in the Forbes list was Bad Jocks. Fanblogs.com, FuckedSports.com, and the Replacement Level Yankees Blog round out the survey. Congratulations to all the winners.

But you don't have to accept their judgement. Feel free to vote in their online poll.

While it's nice to be noticed, some others deserve some credit for our success (such as it is) here at Off Wing. First, my desiger, Stacy Tabb is responsible for the look and feel of Off Wing, as well as the infrastructure that supports it. She made the shift to Movable Type a breeze, and in no small way, helped make Off Wing a lot more fun to write. If you ever get a yen to start a Movable Type blog, give her a call.

And, of course, the real folks to thank are my readers -- the small dedicated cadre of folks who make this little hobby such a blast. I'd also like to send a special thanks to everyone in the Blogosphere that links to me, something that undoubtedly contributed to our high rating for reputation.

Thanks for stopping by, and, as always, keep reading.
