Why spend hours scouring the Web for every morsel of sports news when folks like Los Angeles sports radio host Brooks Melchior will do it for you? His weblog is skewed toward news of Southern California teams, but it has a great mix of national bloggery as well, thanks in part to fans all over the country who e-mail Brooks the best stuff from their local papers.
