2007: The Year in Articles

When the calendar year kicked off with a Statue of Liberty and a Hook n' Ladder, we should have known the next 364 days would be Boise.

From Nappy-Headed Hos to referees gambling on everything short of dogfighting, 2007 will be remembered for being as bizarre as it was unpredictable.

Somehow, through all the craze and criticism, at least one of our writers was able to see the crystal ball clearly. 

In many ways, the NFL season was a microcosm of the year that was: scandal, tragedy, and history. 

2007 was a record-setting year across the board.  Barry Bonds was MLB's Bull in a China Shop.  Brett Favre sewed up every relevant passing record in profession football.  And Bleacher Report set new watermarks for hits, comments, and dating advice.

Tonight's BCS National Championship officially brings the Year of the Underdog to a close.  In a little over four months, we were able to piss off Boston College and make Pete Carroll chuckle. 

How's that for coast-to-coast coverage?

From all of us at Bleacher Report, thanks for a great 2007, and best wishes in 2008.  Here’s hoping that—like Clemens and Bonds—we all get better with age. 

And always remember, it could be worse...
