Interesting week we’ve had from last Friday to today. The fun for bloggers really got started on Thursday night. Alex Rodriguez’s resigning with the Yankees was announced then. Barry Bonds was indicted. Oregon lost to Arizona that night. More stories that unfolded as the week went on: Duke vs Notre Dame, Isiah vs Stephon, Michael Vick going to jail… Which stories carried the most weight for bloggers?
