Nice list, some on there that I’ll definitely be checking out. Here’s one I’d recommend for all sports fans. It’s a site of user-generated content, with articles on a whole host of topics from an enormous range of contributors. It’s called Bleacher Report. Check it out:

No Baseball-Reference? That’s a tough one to leave out, it’s pretty much the most loved site out there for baseball.

Thanks for the link and wide exposure to Full Throttle, for those with more far-reaching interests in auto racing you can also visit my Asian Motorsports blog or my F1 Rage blog.

You might even give the Full Throttle Club a try.
