Welcome to Eric Folkerth's blog!

June Blogs of the Month (Hmnn...wonder which one got read most?)

If you've been keeping up with my blog lately, they'll be no real surprises in the June "Blogs of the Month." As per usual, I will post the five most popular links, so you can see what other folks found most interesting this past month:

Numero Uno (And probably the all-time champ forever more...)
Final Score: Mavs 92 Heat 88 (Or that's what it should have been...and here's the video to prove it...)
Like I said, if you're keeping up and keeping score, this is absolutely no shock at all. The blog entry was read more than 2600 times last month. I've revised it a couple of times, and it now has links to all the other entries about this issue. Also, scroll down and read some of the 84 comments (as of this writing) that were left.


Numero-Two-o
We Were Robbed
This was my initial, probably overly emotional, reaction just after the game was over. Keep in mind: the game had just ended, and I was absolutely convinced we were robbed. I'm still convinced Wade got away with murder, but more willing to blame the Mavs for their many faults.


Numero Three-o
Wow, Did I Touch a Nerve... (Thoughts a Day Later)
Starting to see a trend? This entry was the day after the game, when it was just dawning on me how huge this issue would be.


Numero Four-o
Wade Was Treated Differently (And it Made A Difference)
After I started reading more about the stats from the game, I found that there was
actual data to support my conclusion that Wade had been treated differently. Sadly, I think a lot of the folks who read the initial entry never came back to read this one.

Which is a shame, because it clearly takes it out of the realm of my opinion of the calls, and puts it in the realm of the stats themselves.


Numero Five-o
"There goes my life" (Thoughts on Fatherhood)
Whoohoo! Something besides basketball!!
Maybe it's because the title (taken from a Kenny Chesney song...) shows up on Google searches. But I like to also imagine that it's because fathers everywhere can identify with the sentiment.
Before the a-four mentioned (yes, that's a pun...) posts were written, this entry was clearly my most popular entry ever. In any given month, it never had tons of hits. But it was always among the top ten. So, overtime, it racked up a lot of hits.


The Maverick's controversy changed all that, and it's kinda sad, really....because it's just this kind of writing that attracts me to blogging. That being said, I'm pleased it made the top five!
