Appearance and Style - (Out of 20)
The logo and background of your blog are really nice. However, I'm not sure that I like the foreground that much. First of all, your blog's physical layout is really cluttered and messy, and that sort of ruins the appearance of your blog. Also, I'm not sure that I like the pure white on the bottom part in comparison to your background. See the background color behind your categories? Everything on your blog should be that color or darker in my opinion. Overall, nothing on your blog looks bad, but the physical layout really ruins the appearance.

Blog Layout and Categorization - (Out of 20)
As I've already stated, I'm really not a huge fan of your blog's physical layout. It's cluttered, and everything just seems to be scattered all over the place. The top part is pretty good. I like the animated view of all your latest blog posts. However, the bottom part is organized really badly. The Twitter widget and the tags need to be nonexistent or moved elsewhere (maybe to the bottom). Also, there needs to be a place where users can view a nice,
wide preview of your latest few blog posts. The posts are the most important thing on your blog, so your layout should treat them that way. I might even recommend a total rework of your layout. I do like your choices of categories, however.

Commenting Activity and Other Interactions - (Out of 20)
Your latest blog posts have one or two comments. I think that you should try to expand your audience. You may want to try advertising your blog on sports forums. If you make thoughtful posts and contributions to these forums, then you may find yourself gaining more visitors. You can also look around FP for some promotion and SEO tips.
(Scored 5/20)
Quality and Frequency of Posts - (Out of 20)
You're currently posting about once every five days. That's not a bad rate, but I feel that since you have five whole days between every post, your posts should be longer. Your average post right now is 250-300 words. Take a look at the guest post written by Chris. Every article should be about that length or longer. However, despite the length, your posts seem to be of decent quality. However, I think that if you tried to write longer articles, the quality would go up, too.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
The spelling and grammar on your blog are wonderful. I can hardly spot any mistakes at all, and I'm a huge grammar nerd. Ninety-nine percent of users won't spot any errors at all on your blog. It appears that you try really hard to write posts that lack grammatical errors, and you've done a really good job of it. Your grammar makes you look very professional.

I think that the current bottom part should be more of a place where you can have a nice, wide preview of your recent posts. Then, you can move the Twitter and tag stuff to the bottom.
