Uncommon Sportsman 2.0

Uncommonsportsman_medium

Oh snap!  Uncommon Sportsman just went 2.0!  Dex and I got really lazy about updating over there because once we tasted the sweet nectars of 2.0, we couldn't go back to blogging on version 1.5, we just couldn't!  We pretty much stopped updating and promised to double our efforts when Uncommon Sportsman was upgraded.

We're pretty sure that Uncommon is the most Unpopular SBNation site right now, but that's going to change.  We've set a goal to get 100 regular readers by the end of June.

You might be asking yourself,  "How the hell are they going to get 100 regular readers? " Well that's where you come in.  You are our new readers!  You don't even know it yet, but it's true! 

Join the Uncommon Sportsman community, it's easy because now you just have one login for all SBNation sites.  Get over there and tell us about your strange sporting activities or stories. 

Dex and I haven't come up with a real mission statement yet for Uncommon Sportsman but for now we are filling in the cracks of the SBNation empire.  If there isn't already a blog focused on a sport then you come to us!  Look at our logo, we're ready to talk about hot dog eating, dart throwing and badminton.

I'm going to check to see how many of you have joined in about an hour and if we don't have some new users over there, then I'm going to cry and make you feel really bad.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

It's been twenty minutes

and I don’t see people signing up. Is that how it’s going to be?

Signed up AND commented

I’ll probably visit again soon. Like July. If I remember.

I can't wait to read

“Smells like Uncommon Sportsmen in here” tomorrow morning. That’s gonna be great!

We are the new readers...

So where are you getting the other 95 people? *rimshot

I plan on forwarding a lot of totalfark scrapes to that site, so beware.

What the difference

between regular fark and total fark?

Totalfark is raw

unfiltered, every submission, good and bad. $5/mo.

Regular is moderated headlines and generally safe for work.

There are rumors of Ultrafark, but who knows if such things exist.

Long standing member of both

And I’ve commented …so, you’re gonna have to find some more readers.

by thenerdhater on May 27, 2008 12:36 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

you're our one reader

but soon, you will be joined by others. really our goal is 100 visits a day. if we get a good 7 or 8 readers plus a bunch of google hits by talking about every other sport that people don’t talk about, then our goal is totally doable.

Whenever I see that logo I think it's a blog for heroine addicts.

Did my part

Can we have Open Threads over there on Saturday and Sunday mornings for ESPN’s coverage of the PBA? I’ve always wanted to live blog Walter Ray Jr. going for a 7-10 split.

We'll totally do it

and you better be there.

You betcha

and I’ll totally give my opinions on why the Scorpion oil pattern beats the Cheetah pattern four days a week. The other 3 can be a little more tenuous.

Hah

I used to have a ball but I made the mistake of leaving it in my trunk when I didn’t use it (which wasn’t all that often, despite it being dark purple with sparkles). Unfortunately, this led to the discovery of my Transitive Law of Burnination:

Hot ass trunk in Southern California + Purple bowling ball with sparkles = Cracked and cratered sadness

I do, however, still have my own shoes.

Curling

When is curling on TV, I like that activity.

I've been lurking

over there for a few months now.

Does this mean more frequent updates? The kid in the safari suit is probably a teenager by now.

by sqrunt on May 27, 2008 1:20 PM PDT reply actions   1 recs

It's true

more updates more often.

by jbox on May 27, 2008 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I feel

all tingly inside

In fact

that’s what she said

by jbox on May 27, 2008 1:55 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I fanshotted a link already.

That’s like my Tony Gwynn brick.
