Two Thumbs up to the Rumblings Crew

by muzza34 on Sep 26, 2011 6:30 PM EDT

I wanted to do a quick FanPost to thank Brian and the guys (Matt, DJ and Ron) of the Rumblings crew for the stellar blog they produce day in day out.

It is not a platitude or syrupy pro Bills emotion to say this is one of the best sports blog I have ever come across (and as a sports junkie across to continents I read a lot of sports blogs). I have seen nothing in Australia or the US that comes close.

As a fan outside the US this is not only a priceless source of quality and timely information, but also allow us to tap into the coolest, most rabid fan base I have come across.

I am not sure we all fully appreciate the effort it requires to produce they variety of quality articles (actually that could be an article idea: a synopsis of a week at Rumblings HQ). The level of research that goes into fresh stories and the volume that is produced on a daily basis boggles the mind. Brian, in particular, really puts himself out there to deliver informative content that keeps us coming back day in day out. I haven't come across a blog like it. This is now the site I go to first for my NFL fix (SI.com comes second so I can read Peter King).

Every week we are spoiled with excellent post game articles which always seem to find a new point of discussion. There are no weak rehashes. During the week we get a steady stream of thought (and argument) provoking topics.

Quality journalism is a dying art. Just watch ESPN for five minutes to see what the 24 hour news cycle has done to sports journalism. But at Rumblings we have a real live one here.

I just think those of us who love this site should let BG and the team know how much we appreciate what they have done here.

Cheers and Beers

Muzza

I agree completely. I’d like to add great moderation to the list of awesome things the guys do. They keep it nice, clean, and civil around here. That is a big part of what makes this place so damn fantastic. Thanks guys!!

This is huge!

What killerokapi says, I mean. Rec’d. Most blogs are unreadable after the first comment because the readers start ripping into one another (usually in very crass, un-creative and un-amusing ways) to where it’s just useless. Buffalo Rumblings never descends into that. That’s key to the enjoyment of this place for me.

It is a good crowd here, an the Mods do a great job.

Agreed. This sight is very civil compared to some others. I never read an ‘F-bomb’ on BR. I’m sure they happen, they must immediately get edited or filtered. As for the ‘BR home office’, I too would be interested in knowing more. Is there an actual office or is this site run from the various editors home PC’s?

Yeah

we disagree occasionally, but it doesn’t get out of hand (doesn’t end in someone getting cussed out). That makes this a fun place to visit.

I have an image of all of the Rumblers looking like the South Park kids in the World of Warcraft episode!

I am blessed (cursed?) to have a job that I can often do from home on the computer. So I do spend a LOT of time here on BR.

I'm looking in a new town.

I shouldn’t come on here until after 5 pm, but… I can’t stay away.

Yes, they do a bang up job!

The articles are well written, numerous to say the least, and to the point with no extra sugar or salt thrown in. And muzza34 I agree it’s an awesome site. Everyone is civil, and real issues are discussed without anyone getting too offended or too far off the subject. Props to all of you!

Far and away my favorite sports website.

I come to buffalo rumblings once a day during the off season and about 4 or 5 times a day during the season. And that’s not an exaggeration. Great site for Bills addicts. Thanks for all your hard work guys.
