Bill Simmons: Sports Guy Blog
Simmons is good about speaking his mind and he is very interactive with his readers (he puts out a column called "the mailbag" every week where he responds to his readers' e-mails). Although his blog is on ESPN, he goes off topic a lot about recent trends, tv shows and movies. I can't believe this guy can think of so much to say and still keep us reading. If you're ever reading his blog look at the analogies he use. He's the best with them even though they keep getting more and more rediculous. The Sports Guy is a funny guy. Take a look at his blog sometime when you get a chance.

Writers that endeavor to be interactive are some of the best people to read. It is fun to discuss, argue and agree with what they have written. Who wants to read someone that sounds like a boring old textbooks that was discontinued for a reason?
When he goes off on tangents like television shows and movies, he is probably just speaking about what he has thought about and enjoys. The demographic similarities between him and his fans are probably similar enough so that nearly all of his readers are able to be relatively familiar with what he is talking about. I have always found that it is a welcomed relief to have short breaks like that. I like discussing other topics I enjoy even if they are disrupting the topic that I intended to be discussing.
