BTSC Takes A Tour Of SB Nation

With the off season currently providing little to nothing in the way of Pittsburgh Steelers news I thought it was a good time for BTSC to take a tour around SB Nation and provide you with some articles that are really good, funny, or interesting to pass the time on a Thursday afternoon.  -DYM-

A lot of West Virginia Mountaineer fans are also Steeler fans and SB Nation recently added a WVU blog, called The Smoking Musket.  I have been checking it out recently and they have been putting some good stuff together.  The most recent post is regarding Urban Myers' asinine comments and actions towards a alumnus and broadcaster. For the complete details on the situation check it out, here.

The guys over at Battle Red Blog conducted an interview with the Houston Texans current Right Tackle, Eric Winston.  Winston recently started his own blog as well and seems like a sharp guy.  The AFC South is one of the toughest divisions in football, but I think the Texans have a legitamate shot at competing and at least earning a wild-card spot in the 2009 playoffs.

For you Bucco fans time to check out the Buc's dougout for info on the MLB draft.  Seriously who gets into the MLB draft?

Beyond the Boxscore is a blog based on the concept of sabremetrics from my understanding and they do quite a bit of statistical analysis some of which is beyond my comprehension interest.  But today they have an excelent post about what major sports championships are the most difficult to win, I am surprised the National Championship in football is ranked as one of the hardest, I would of thought the NCAA Basketball tourney would be much harder.

I'm not going to link to a specific article but rather just a suggestion to check out Bloody Elbow, the SBNation site on Mixed Martial Arts.  I myslef am not a huge fan of the sport but will watch it occasionally, but the Bloody Elbow site is very popular and has a lot of great information and conversation.

I just found this one today and I might give it a read every now and then considering I could stand to lose a few pounds.  But evidently SBNation has a site devoted to male fitness.  Looks to me like the guys running it are having a good time mixing in a sense of humor along with trying to help themselves and other live a healthier life.  I feel like I have done some sort of community service by giving them a shot out.

Blitzburgh might have some man-love for Drew Brees, but I am starting to develop some for LeBron James, check out the Clevaland Cav's site and check out how dominant LeBron and his team have been so far in the playoffs.

Last, but not least a non SB Nation site that is hilarous called Akward Family Photos and the name reflects exactly what the site is about.  Check it out they are only a few months old but they are already have a tremendous following, and even got a plug from Time Magazine yesterday.
