Blog Shoutout: DC Pro Sports Report


The Redskins are not the only pro team in town. Or so I have been told.

I am behind in my shoutouts, my apologies to everyone I have promised, today's shoutout goes to Spence, PennSkinsFan and the guys at DC Pro Sports Report.

Started in January 2007 as the DC Sports Blog, Spence and PennSkinsFan covered Washington Capitals hockey, Washington Bullets Wizards basketball and Washington Nationals baseball. Redskins football was not covered regularly on the DC Sports Blog, as the authors covered Washington's most beloved pro team at HailRedskins.com, where they meticulously maintained the premiere area mock NFL draft.

Well it so happened that a couple of months before DC Sports Blog's appearance a little outlet called the Washington Post debuted a too snarky by half little outlet called the DC Sports Bog. For some time the DC Sports Blog and DC Sports Bog lay, side by side in Will Allensworth's blogroll, happily confusing the shit out of readers.

Maybe due to confusion, maybe as result of that multimillion dollar marketing study, the guys determined wisely that a name change was in order and DC Pro Sports Report was born. Curious though, DC Sports Blog's last post was published in May 2007, while DC Pro Sports Report's first post is dated in February of 2008. What the hell were they doing for nine months? Building a separatist arsenal of heavy weapons? Visiting Barack Obama at a mosque in Saudi?

Further consolidating their power, in July of this year they announced they had severed their relationship with HailRedskins.com and were moving their Redskins coverage and mock NFL draft over to DCPSR, along with links to many many other mock drafts, if you cannot find what you are looking for there then you are looking for the wrong thing.

Four times the teams to cover, four times the love to spread and their regular Smoke Signals Redskins feature is a must read. You can find DCPSR in my blogroll at right, click over and give them some love.
