Ok, ok, not the football team, this site.

The fine folks over at TopBlogArea.com have decided that we’re the number four sports blog on their site. I guess we should mention that there are probably something like 5 blogs listed on the site, but we’ve finally beaten those chess club blogging bastards.

You bastards might be smarter than I am, but at least I know the difference between a chess board and a checker board. Losers.

It’s like we’ve given the chess club blog an online wedgie. As much as they’d like to run away from it, and hope that it’s not true, they’re still nerds, and football is still more popular (only by a small margin, but still).

Being fourth place is such an awesome milestone, that it makes us here at Fulmer’s Belly wonder what kind of awesome company we must now be sharing? So what better idea than to see other famous and (not so famous) totally fake totally true kinda fake #4s throughout history.

• NBC

Historically, NBC has been pretty successful with shows like “Friends” “Frasier” “Awesome Naked People Dancing In A Shower” and other shows that were really gay had high ratings, but as of late, they have been throwing out miss after miss.

NBC has taken a phenomenon called “must see tv” and replaced it with “…” (no one watches nbc, not even the employees, so there’s nothing there). It seems like at this point perhaps Notre Dame might want to rethink being the only major selfish-ass school independent school, and just join the Big 10 already. If for no other reason than getting away from NBC.

• USA Basketball

Talk about awesome company. Does anyone even know that the US still had a national basketball team? Yeah, neither did we. As it turns out, we do, and well, they came in 3rd place this past tournament. But for the sake of this argument, we’ll just assume that they’re ranked 4th overall. Think of it as the AP Poll of international basketball. In an attempt to rescue the team from mediocrity, they hired Coach Shishevsky Kryschevski Shaves Kyrgistan Krzyzewski (had to look that one up), to bring the team back from the disappointing 3rd place finish to come back strong during the international tournament to finish… third place.

Ok fine, USA Basketball: still awesomeer than Fulmer’s Belly, but just barely.

Edit: As soon as posting this, we’ve been upgraded to #3, so now, I dare say we are as awesome as USA Basketball.  I’d like to thank the academy, wait, we don’t get a speech?  Fine.
