Taking our Talents to the Blogosphere

Today is the day after the LeTrainwreck press conference during which he announced some really important decision regarding his Talents and where he is taking them. I thought his Talents went off to party in South Beach during the Eastern Conference semis, and he’s just going down there to get them back. Silly me.

"South Beach, bringin' the Heat."

The ridiculousness of the whole situation ultimately inspired the Chairman and me to finally get this blog thing off the ground. Here is our subsequent late night text exchange:

CHAIRMAN: I dub Miami “The Unholy Trinity” because it prominently features a Judas.

MINISTER: I dub Miami “The Three Splooges” because they will be constantly jerking off to their own Greatness.

CHAIRMAN: Today marks the first time in his career when LeBron showed the killer instinct. He used it to finish off the city of Cleveland.

MINISTER: We need to go back in time and start our blog like a year ago.

Better present than never.

Welcome to Double Clutch, the Blog with At Least Twice the Amount of Clutch as Other Sports Sites

So, my friend, the Minister of Clutch and I have been kicking around this sports blog idea for a while now. Basically, we were kind of fed up with the amount of softballing and genuflecting that these highly paid prima donnas get. It doesn't look like mainstream media is ever going to get off of the gravy train, so it falls to regular people like us to actually call people out, point out that the emperor's not wearing any clothes, or that these "advanced statistics" seem to bear no resemblance to reality. We'd also like to do so with a bit of levity, humor and wit, as mainstream sports "journalists" - evidenced in the Summer of LeBron - seem to be lacking in some or all of these categories. The Minister and I are both California born and bred, so you may detect some bias, but we will try to be even.

Please join us on a magical journey into the future of sports blogging awesomeness. Or be destroyed.
