What makes The Sporting Blog different

The Sporting Blog is a trivia and history publication rather than a results site. Its NFL pieces look at rules and their history, including the drop kick and Doug Flutie's kick, the tuck rule and Brady, Tom Dempsey's banned kicking shoe, and the ban on helmet radios. Soccer pieces cover offside at a throw-in, the Copa Libertadores, and the barefoot juggler Mohammed Salim. Quiz articles run across Australian sport, the Premier League and tennis Grand Slams, and an explainer looks at why college sports are so popular in America. The blog began as an interview platform before becoming a launchpad for new sports writers.
