E.K. NATION

We here at E.K. Sports--and when we say "we" we mean The Committee of Me, Myself, and Myself, Esq.--have decided that "E.K. Sports" isn't just going to hack it anymore as the name of this weblog. We do talk about sports more often than not, but sometimes, and we are finding out that "sometimes" may be another word for "during the baseball off-season", we delve into non-sports-related topics. And "E.K. Nation" just seems to be a bit more apropos. Not that "E.K. Sports" isn't a fine title on its own, and indeed when "E.K. Sports" is "Googled"--we think it's in the dictionary now, a real verb--the first thing that comes up, at least for us, is "http://eksports.blogspot.com/".

But here's what else comes up, among others:

The Edward Knox Central School sports schedule (Go Cougars!!)

Something out of British Columbia called EKLive.com, with the banner "EK Sports!" instead of "E.K. Sports"

Some sort of outdoor sports gear site

At least three Chinese or Japanese sites containing characters that cannot be correctly displayed in this language/character set

We find nothing with the name E.K. Nation. So if we ever do, maybe we'll rename the site "E.K. Dominion," or maybe "E.K. Nation and Providence Plantations."

No, we won't. "E.K. Nation" is ours. We feel pretty decent about claiming it.

We're still a San Francisco Giants weblog. And we'll talk much much more about them when the season fires up again, and when necessary during the winter.
