Wait...just saw Sando is running the 49ers chat. Do the 49ers get Sando as their permanent personal blogger? What the heck!

He's covering 49ers and Cardinals right now because they dont have an exclusive blogger yet. His new job is with the insiders once they find someone to take those two teams.

So he's stuck with them indefinitely, huh?

I guess. Im just envious of the Rams. They have Nick Waggnor who bust out 5+ articles a day of decent quality vs Terry who is really good at repeating information we have already heard for at least 24 hours.

As a dyed in the wool ESPN man, well after .net of course, I loved Sando's work. I also thought he was an excellent blogger compared to some of the other jokers. I think the real winner from this is the Rams whose writer Nick Wagoner has been posting in detail and with regularity.

I like Eric Williams' stuff at the News Tribune and reckon I may venture there more.

It is early days for Blount but thusfar I have been most unimpressed.

No Im pretty sure he's not. Probably a one time thing.

Sando was insightful and objective and had ESPN's vast stats database at his disposal along with the desire and keen eye to use it. I clipped so many relevant facts from his columns last year but it's apparent that the well is gone and lost forever. It's depressing.

Sando's punctilious nature shone through every post, from his carefully balanced POV to his impeccable grammar and spelling. I once emailed him to correct Luke's last name and he said his editor's style guide must have been wrong since it was correct in his draft. Since then, I'd been attributing the strict rules following of his posts to editors, but Blount's posts are riddled with errors. It doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

What once had been a daily visit is now not even bookmarked, since I know it's just going to be sloppy rehashes of stuff I've read elsewhere.
