According to a 2003 article in Forbes, sports blogs are "few and meager." They explain use as being unimportant and somewhat trivial. According to the article no one is reading them, and bloggers will never be able to compete with Web sites and cable TV.
I imagine if an article ran nowadays about sports blogging, it would be singing a different tune. Blogs in general are everywhere, and sports blogs seem to be a major source of sports information. Use however, seems to be coming from middle aged individuals. Just from asking around, it seems no one in my age group - 18-23 is using blogs at all. In fact, of the ten people I questioned, 0 said they even know how to access a blog and 0 said they had ever read a blog.
But blog use is up and young creators of blogs are coming into large sums of advertising money.
Sports blogs too are becoming increasingly popular, providing users a chance to link to hundreds of sports stories and articles from around the world, and view photos and videos of relevant sports news and information.

Just so you don't feel bad, here is the story that clears up how he survived.
All the best,
