For our first installment of the guest blog, we had BBiB! weigh in with a well-reasoned, thought-provoking piece on the state of youth sports in America. And plenty of thoughtful comments poured forth.
For our next guest post, we take it down a notch - like, in the gutter - with one of our faves, "Hookslide," whose irreverent and Howard Stern-ish type humor had us cracking up throughout an enjoyable 2007 NFL season.
Without further ado, Hook tries his hand at blogging:

So I've been toying with the idea of writing a guest blog for Bob.
I always thought it would be a piece of cake...just go on and on about something and try to throw some funny stuff in there...
I wanted my guest blog to be funny and to generate page hits and a lively debate amongst the blog-readers...
but just as importantly, I wanted Bob to like it and to ask me to do it again..
I wanted Neil Best to say..."hmmm...that individual is rather humorous, and he expresses himself quite succinctly"
I wanted Mark Lamonica to say "Yo, Bob....that dude cracked me up"
I wanted Black N Gold to say "okay...I admit it...he's funnier than me...but, I still think he's an idiot and he should be banned from the blog"
My plan was to mix three things:
- Current pop culture references.
- A display of some sports knowledge...
- Some personal reference to Bob and his blog.
But every time I spent a couple of minutes thinking about what to write, I came away empty...a couple of funny lines but nothing entertaining...nothing "Bob-worthy"
I try to read the blog as often as possible...and finally...I hit the blog yesterday and was inspired to write my guest blog....so here goes:
Bob...American Idol is Over....
Your boy lost...get over it
Grab a beer and a slice of pizza...get on the next bus out of Estrogenland, and come back to us...you're a football writer for god's sake.

okay...I admit it...he's funnier than me...but, I still think he's an idiot and he should be banned from the blog
Nice work Hook! :-)
what do you mean "take it down a notch"?
(yeh....yeh....you said "notch" heh heh heh...)
Thanks BNG...and did you notice I covered the three components?
So which guy in the picture is Boland and which one is Glauber?
Must have been Newsday employee karaoke night at Dave and Buster's in Farmingdale
That's Boland on the left, me on the right.
