The world of sports blogs can be frustrating to say the least, with the big sports sites offering the usual run of the mill news, and a jungle of one-man-know-alls talking a lot of waffle. Dozen Sports is all about celebrating the champs of the sports index world, which is where Andrew Gifford comes in, with his brave new blog Giff's Take.

Giff's Take is an original and ambitious blog, with regular detailed updates of the sports online news action. But what sets this blog apart is Giff's 'Weekend Wrap-Up', an ingenious weekly audio download in which Gifford talks you through all the weekend's results. His dedication is astounding, as he covers everything from NFL to mixed martial arts, in a broadcast that's nearly an hour in length.

Beat the Monday madness by tuning in to Giff's Take over your morning coffee, catching up on those all important results.

Dozen Sports have done the leg work, and we know how sadly lacking a decent sports blog is. But Giff's Take is a great example of how to balance fact with opinion; even when Gifford is getting heated, he has the power to pack a punch because he knows his stuff. This, plus some neat touches like daily quotes and polls make Giff's Take stand out above the rest, and who knows, maybe one of those covered Dozen Seals of Approval might be headed Giff's way!
