The Inaugural Your Face is a Sports Blog Fan Fest is this Saturday in Phoenix

You heard right: due to popular demand, Your Face is a Sports Blog will be holding our first-ever Fan Fest this Saturday at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix in conjunction with that night's sprint car racing. Both myself and fknmclane will be there, signing autographs and taking questions from the fans. We'll have prizes to give away* and there may even be some special guests.

Make sure you look for us at the Your Face is a Sports Blog booth at the parking lot outside of the track before the races. We'll be the ones covered in empty MGD cans!

*there are no prizes.

So yeah, I'm flying out to Phoenix this weekend to go to the sprint car races with fknmclane. He's never been, and I think he's pretty pumped about it. I hope that it's a good night of racing, and not a complete mess. The fact that I was told be the racetrack over the phone last night that racing had been cancelled, sending me into a downward spiral of depression, only to have fknmclane be told that no, racing was on this Saturday, doesn't bode well. But whatever - we're going to have a wild time, get into a lot of trouble, and have blog posts for weeks about it.

Note: Since I'm writing about the trip, it's now a business expense. Suck on it, IRS!

The Greatest Sports Highlight Video Ever Created

We've all seen ESPN's Ultimate Highlight at some point in our lives, and while the editing is crisp and the plays are spectacular, the songs used are consistently awful. This is how it's done:



Catchy as all hell song + goofy highlights + 80's fashion = WINNER

UPDATE: The Duke has his panties in a bunch because "Centerfield > Walk of Life." I would agree wholeheartedly that the song and video are indeed better but Centerfield is all baseball and more of a look back at the golden age of the sport. As such...ah, fuck it, here's our President's favorite song, Centerfield, by John Fogerty:
