Why is it cool? -- thesportsking.com is COOL because We are One of a Kind! - Among the growing millions of websites providing information on the Internet, thesportsking.com is THE ONLY sports website solely dedicated to offering "easy to navigate", Hometown/Team news, gaming and fantasy information right at your fingertips.

- thesportsking.com is COOL because providing sports news and gaming information is all we do. We are not a Local TV, Radio Station or Newspaper that also has a website that rehashes their info when they get around to it. Nor, are we a National Cable Programming Network that is encumbered with the monumental task of providing complete, local and total coverage of EVERY sporting event and EVERY team. (It cannot be done. We do it here!)

- thesportsking.com is COOL because we do not bite off more than we can chew. Other popular national websites have obviously over-committed themselves to hundreds of different areas of interest and cannot compete with our EXCLUSIVE and TOTAL coverage of America's Hometown/Team sports news, gaming and fantasy information.

- thesportsking.com is COOL because we tell it like it is. No sugar coating and no BS. We have your sports information where you want IT, when you want IT, and especially, the way you want IT! FAST, ACCURATE AND ENTERTAINING!

- thesportsking.com is COOL because we are YOUR "Up-to-the-Minute" ONE-CLICK read on what YOU want to KNOW, when YOU want to KNOW IT!

Who wins? -- All Local and Worldwide Sports fans, gamers, members of the media, as well as our ever growing Breaking-News e-mail subscriber list, and of course, all of our loyal Sponsors.
