I don't read blogs that much. Actually, to be more accurate, I don't read blogs at all. So being asked to define and recommend "a good one" is sort of like asking a vegan how they like their porterhouse cooked.
There's a few reasons why I don't read blogs. First, everyone of them seems to have the same amateurish look with the same fonts and cheesy color schemes. I'm not against amateur journalism at all - being, well, an amateur journalist myself - but for some reason I just would rather read actual columns and articles. Second, I they always seem to lengthy and poorly formatted. I have a short attention span and typically lose interest by the 350th word of a 100 word entry. Maybe I just don't give blogs a chance, and that's something I need to change. Or, maybe I'm not missing out on much.
I guess I'd define a blog as an personal online journal or diary, except it's different from the one that you hid from your parents and siblings because you want people to read it. A blog is entertainment. People write about whatever they want, whenever they want, however they choose to write it.
As far as recommending a blog, I think I just found a pretty decent one. Michael Lombardi is a former National Football League front office executive, with over 20 years of experience. He knows the ins and outs of how the business is ran and keeps a running blog on the website "The National Football League Post." Lombardi possess a wealth of access and knowledge of the game and expresses his own original opinions in a candid and coherent manner.
