I read a blog on caffeine and its effects on sports performance. This blog was written by Adam Fusfeld. This blog was written on October 27th, 2010 at about 10:30AM. Based on this date, Adam's post on his blog has been active for about 4 days. Adam Fusfeld has posted a blog on October 29th about NFL Jersey Ads. He also posted on October 31st about the NHL Commissioner and locker room talk. It seems that he writes on his blog about every 2 or 3 days at most. That is impressive! Adam has used several hyperlinks within his blog posts. In his post about caffeine use in athletes he referred back to ESPN investigation, and a study done by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Adam linked both of these sites in his blog. He did not link to any other blogs within his writings, but he did post the links and pictures to other blogs that were writing about the use of other substances within sports. For example, there was a blog post on how Cocaine brought the Texas Rangers together, and also one on how a Harvard Professor thinks that all drugs should be legalized immediately.
This blog has a picture of a Monster Energy drink can next to it. This is an energy drink that is used by lots of athletes, as well as the regular everyday person. This fits with his post because he talks about the insane amounts of caffeine that energy drinks have in them. To be exact, it is about eight-times as much as a 12 ounce can of soda. Finally, he has an area at the bottom where you can view what other people have said about his post. This is interesting because you can get a feel for what other people think about his post, as well as there ideas or thoughts themselves.
I read a post that was commenting on the blog post that Adam has just posted. Henry Blodget comments on the caffeine overuse on October 27th, 2010. He makes a point that there is not only caffeine in these energy drinks but also in pre-workout supplements. These supplements are also a huge deal in sports. He comments that the NCAA has banned large amounts of caffeine usage and have earmarked large doses of caffeine as illegal.
