People in general think it is easy to be a sports blogger. I mean how hard can it be? You just sit and write your opinions on sports easy as 1, 2, 3. Of course that is why many sports blogs fail miserably because it takes a special gift to break into a market that is more flooded than the rap industry and MySpace wannabe models combine.
Many athletes have tried their hand at blogging and most are horrible (there are a couple of exceptions like Chris Cooley and Agent 0). So when I find an athlete who has some talent I want to make sure he or she gets there due.
Which brings us to Martellus Bennett second year Tight End with the Dallas Cowboys. Our good friends a ProFootBallTalk.com dropped a story today that Marty B as he likes to be called had started a blog for the Dallas Morning News. At first I was skeptical, but considering Marty B was one of the stars of HBO "Hard Knocks" series I decided to give him a read and this was a part of his first entry:

Have you ever went on a date and the girl didn't look as good as you remember? This really sucks! Yesterday my friend went to meet a girl at the movies he had met at the bar two nights before. We all know once you have a few drinks everything seems to look better it's what we call the Grey Goose affect. LOL (laugh out loud). Well anyways he goes to the movies to meet this woman when he gets there I receive several text messages about how cute she isn't and it couldn't be the same girl...
Instead of leaving he orders popcorn, sour patches and two big 44oz drinks and proceeds into the movie finds them a seat and begins to sip his drink...
Then he goes "man this is some strong stuff it is going straight threw me I have to go to the restroom". Gets up and walks all the way to his car gets in it starts it and leaves. Hahaha. Didn't tell her bye or anything just left. Now that's funny but is truly messed up. Ironically the movie they were seeing was He's Just Not That Into You.
First thing I thought of after I read this?
"This is something I would have written about"
And since in the immortal words of T.O. "I Love Me Some Me" I have become an immediate fan of Marty B and I suggest you all check out his blog. His take on "Women and Farting" is legendary.
