Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2009 bing-bong sports writers.

The birth of bing-bong

In honor of the start of the NFL season, we're launching our brand new sports blog. bing-bong is run by real fans for real fans. Here at bing-bong you'll be able to read up on upcoming games, weekly pick 'ems, fantasy picks of the week, post-game analysis, and all the things you'd expect from a sports site. Although unlike those other sites, bing-bong is gonna give you just what we promise in our premise: arguing. Each week (mon-fri) with the help of our readers, we'll be debating the hot-topics in sports in our "Burner of the Week" where we'll select the most controversial question/topic we receive and have an on-going debate all week on the matter. Readers are encouraged to vote on which points they agree/disagree with and whose argument they liked the best. At the end of the week, through the votes of our readers and the help of a secret moderator, a winner will be named and have a chance to defend his title in next week's "burner".

The bottomline is this site is here for you as much as it is for us. We implore you to check in as much as you'd like and to give us your feedback any time. There's no reason you should be bored at work when you could be reading up on who the bing-bong boys think is the best team in the NFL this year (for example). We hope you enjoy hearing what we have to say and look forward to making this site as entertaining as possible. Thanks. Enjoy.
