At any time of the day, from anywhere in the world, sports fans and more than a few self-professed fanatics are fueling a growing firestorm of electronic rants and raves that is burning up the structure of sports information as it once existed in the mainstream media.

Where once Sports Illustrated might have seemed provocative with its swimsuit issues, probing journalism and biting commentary, nothing really can compare to the free-form exercise in sports-based freedom of speech propagated by a mushrooming field of Internet blogs.

Blogs, or Web logs as they once were known, allow anyone to start a World Wide Web site and open a talk-radio-like give-and-take exchange that can draw thousands of hits at the touch of a keyboard.

That is where all bloggers of sports could and should unite under an umbrella group. USportsnetwork is looking for writers from all the professional and college teams. They have few restrictions in meet their criteria. Take a look at the website at www.usportsnetwork.com and email the webmaster for the team you would like the write for. It’s easy and it’s free.
