| Bleacher Report
Not sure why people continue to refer to Bleacher Report as if it is a real source...it is written by unemployed sports journalism majors and/or kids that want to write about their team...it is a joke of a site.

| A site where people can just freely post what is basically their opinion about their favorite team regardless of their intelligence level? Sounds terrible. | |

| I personally don't have a problem with bleacher report. It's just average guys giving their opinion with few factual articles sprinkled in. Not that much of a difference from volnation, bunch of guys giving opinions with a few guys giving some inside info and news.
I wouldn't say it's a credible source but people act like its Satan. | |

| Citing bleacher report is like citing Wikipedia on a research paper...
That said, the one reason I use it is because it works as a news aggregate, there are a lot of links to actual sources as the come come available. Sort of an rss feed | |
