The RSS feed I chose from The New York Times gives a broad look on every aspect of sports. This feed, Sports, produces oodles of articles daily, too many for me to read every single one. The way in which the authors composed the articles are like I am listening to an intriguing sports report on television. The broad topics range from short reports on sporting events, biographies of athletes, deaths of famous competitors, and news of trades, returns, and scandals. At this time of the year most game summaries are on baseball, so the reports give information on who won the game and the inning-by-inning stats. Lately many articles have been on the subject of the 2008 Olympics and the athletes’ journeys. One in particular, “Women Jumping in as Elite Swim Coaches,” narrates how veteran Olympic female swimmers are now swim coaches for the 2008 Olympics. Recently, various authors composed articles on the life and death of Bobby Marcer, honoring his sporting and broadcasting achievements. Several pieces of writing were written about the possible return and trade of the recently retired quarterback, Brett Favre. In the piece, “Energized Church Confident of Return,” the left-handed hitter, Ryan Church, rejoins the New York Mets from the disabled list. Outrageously, one article notes the scandals of players being taken advantage of financially and the cheating of officials. Even though I liked being updated on all the news of the sports world, I will not keep this feed in my Reader.
