It's Good To Be Bronson Arroyo
Former Bucco, Bronson Arroyo, has it tough.  A boat, hot chicks, and Pedro.  I’d like to sign-up to be a marginal MLB pitcher now.  Please? via Busted Coverage

Steelers Lose Bryant McFadden To Arizona →
Can you really blame the guy?  He got a 2-year $10M deal, $5M of which is guaranteed (allegedly).  He’s been unable to unseat the ancient Deshea Townsend and is pressed in Pittsburgh by Willie Gay. Look for the Steelers to draft a CB in the first 3 rounds this year.

Sportsocracy Revamped
Sportsocracy has changed and evolved a great deal since we started back in May of 2006.  Long form posts have largely given way to quick snippets of insanity and with that, I’ve wholesalely switched the site over to Tumblr, as it gives me a better way to manage everything. I’m still in the process of converting a number of things over, including RSS, so hang in there.
