Guest Top Ten List

Ink-on-paper dailies may be dinosaurs that figured out blogging late in the game, but they bring a lot. With a newspaper blog, you get seasoned reporters who know the score and have access: they sit "on the glass" in the press box and have best-available access to players and coaches. Here are 10 newspaper NFL blogs that get it.

Top 10 Newspaper NFL Blogs

Bucs Beat

Good humor, solid analysis, video, polls and more from an underrated paper, the St. Petersburg Times.

Cowboys Blog

These guys are all over the Boys with links to video, pictures, live chats and reporting (via Dallas Morning News).

D.C. Sports Bog

The gold (and burgundy) standard for newspaper sports blogs, the Washington Post's Bog covers the Redskins the way all DC sports must be covered: with insight, humor and regret.

Eagletarian

In an Eagles season when you never know who's going to be on the roster, the Philadelphia Daily News Eagletarian offers multiple daily updates from inside the team practice facility to sort things out.

Extra Points

Why-it-happened inside stuff for Patriots fans -- and Pats haters--from the Boston Globe.

Lions Blog

Talk about dedication to real-time reporting. These guys at the Detroit Free Press liveblogged the Lions first win in ages from a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant located outside the Detroit TV blackout area.

Seahawks Blog

Video, live game threads – what more could a Seahawks fan want? (Well, a playoff team once in a while would be nice.)

Talking Points

It's not just football, but there's plenty of Niners ball during the season from top columnist Tim Kawakami at the San Jose Mercury News.

The Fifth Down

A thinking fan's guide to the game with great analysis, stats, and multimedia from the New York Times. A hometown focus on the Jets and Giants can be forgiven (to a degree).

Vikings Cheerleader Blog

Yeah, the Minneapolis Star Tribune has several Vikings blogs, and they all seem very nice, but who else is giving the home team's cheerleaders some love?
