Offbeat Homes

Real Sports Fans Read Blogs and Live in Sports-Minded Homes

by Jennifer Chait on October 6th, 2007

I’m so not a sporty kind of girl. BUT anyone who has been reading me for a while at my other blogs might know that I do love Frisbee and in-line skating (which are technically sports.) In the spirit of that fact I’m going to blog about sports today. Mainly because b5media has had an amazing new Sports Channel re-vamp.

The channel is now headed up by new Channel Editor, Kori who is a rockin’ good blogger not to mention that the channel is full to the brim with other great sports bloggers. So look for lots of great stuff to come from this channel. Including the CONTEST that is highlighted below (way below).

There are now more great blogs then ever for you to enjoy in our Sports Channel including:

Now if you were a real sports fan you might be living the dream; not just reading about it at b5media. But how to do that?

Well, there was the recently Offbeat featured Soccer Ball Homes:

Or you could always try to build a different kind of football shaped home like The Football House that Jan Sonkie built in Malawi.

If all else fails you can simply move into a home that resembles a cross between an odd baseball and bowling ball.

You know though; building a sports-minded home is a lot of work.

Another, much better way to show your love for the game is to enter sports-minded contests. And you are in luck because the Sports Channel is running just such a contest right now!

You do need to be speedy because the contest ends Friday, October 12, 2007 at 12:00 noon ET.
