Good hats are hard to find. Outside of work, I tend to wear a baseball hat quite often. I prefer the fitted kind, as they tend to fit my head a little better and don’t bunch up in the back (cause I have a small head). However, it’s often hard to find a good hat that fits right and wears well, until about a year ago.

It was then that I discovered a brand of hats named “The Franchise” by Twins Enterprise. These hats offer the relaxed, broken-in look, with the comfort of cotton, without the heat of wool. The hats are available in nearly all sports teams, from traditional to colorful.

Simply put, these hats are great. If you’re a hat wearing sports fan like myself, take a look at the Franchise.

In crawling through server logs, I’ve noticed that I receive lots of hits from far away places. Some of the places I’ve heard of and some I haven’t. It’s interesting to think that data travels around the world and I myself, have never been around the world. What an interesting thing is Interweb is.

What’s the strangest place you’ve ever had traffic from on your site?

Hot on the heels of everyone’s favorite TV game, The World Championship of Poker, I saw an advertisement for The World Championship of Darts. I’ll admit that I was skeptical when I saw poker on TV for the first time, but now it’s one of the most watched sports (if you call it a sport) on television. I can’t help but wonder if darts will draw the same viewership numbers.

What television “sport” do yo think will be next?

In a time when news coverage is everywhere, only the rarest and obscure of stories isn’t covered by some news organization. I’m a bit shocked with the lack of coverage for the biggest cycling event of the year. Quietly, the Tour de France has entered it’s last week.

With riders two-thirds into the 2,100+ mile journey through France and Europe, little media coverage has been available. None of the major networks have had television coverage. Only OLN has provided us television coverage. In many of the newspapers, small blurbs occupy a tiny portion of the sports page, if it even makes the sports page. Many sites are lumping their coverage under the “More Sports” option.

While this years event kicked off with a doping scandel and Lance Armstrong retired, the event has been anything but a letdown. New hero’s have emerged and stories of courage and leadership abound. I’m just sad to think that after all the international coverage of the World Cup, the sports media has “dropped the ball” on this great and exciting event.
