Who's in your ... 5? Or, in this case, one-five ...

The Sports Business Journal (linked here) surveyed a bunch of us -- those who received a survey is all I can gather who "us" really entails -- and asked for a list of the "must-read sports destinations" on the Internet machine today.

There was no distinction on those who did or didn't include scantly clad women posing as lures. We admire that freedom of choice. Those who do such a thing are just catering to the lowest common denominator of blog readers, stooping to a level that no real journalist would need to do based on the faith that his subject matter is enough to hold anyone's attention. And then string sentences together that really don't make any sense, but at least wrap around the pictures nicely.

The voting turned out these 15 (in no particular order, except the order we decided because that's how they're on our pulldown under the giant gold star):

==Brooks Brooks Melchior's SportsByBrooks.com (linked here), if only for the pictures of the women he takes with his own digital camera (he calls himself a professional photographer first, a sports information provider second, an occasional sports-talk host third, a professional photographer fourth, fifth and sixth).

==Will Leitch (linked here). The former ringleader at Gawker media sports' Deadspin.com, (linked to his stuff here), now working at New York Magazine, plus WEEI.com and Sporting News. And Buzz Bissinger's buddy.

==Extra Mustard at SI.com (linked here) with sports and pop culture merging with "hot clicks" and our boy Arash Markazi, who wrote about ESPN hiring Magic Johnson: "What is it with ESPN hiring legendary athletes as analysts who can't, well, analyze? Magic Johnson may be the greatest point guard ever, but having him as a studio analysts is almost as bad as having Emmitt Smith break down "Monday Night Football" games with more clichés than a high school quarterback."

==Neil Best's "Watchdog" blog for Newsday (linked here) for sports-media news.

==TheBigLead.com (linked here), which SBJ calls "simply the top sports media blog" with editor Jason McIntyre.

==Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski of SI.com (linked here) and joeposnanski.com (linked here)

==Bill Simmons on ESPN.com (linked here). Pay particular attention to the 9,000-word piece he did on why Manny Ramirez was run out of Boston by the manipulated Red Sox-slanted media (linked here).

==Mike Florio on ProFootballTalk.com (linked here), for news and gossip on the NFL, plus a column in SportingNews.com.

==Peter King on SI.com (linked here) with his "Monday Morning Quarterback."

==Jay Glazer on FoxSports.com (linked here) for breaking NFL news.

==Mark Cuban on BlogMaverick.com (linked here) for his own crazy stuff (read the one on the U.S. economy and how it's still doomed).

==Buster Olney on ESPN.com (linked here) for baseball breaking news, commentary and other links.

==Mark Kriegel of FoxSports.com (linked here), the L.A.-based writer from New York who's mad as hell and ... you know the rest.

==BleacherReport.com (linked here), which SBJ calls "the next step in the evolution of sports blogs, social networking and fan commentary, this hub trades in citizen-based sports journalism." Also linked from FoxSports.com.

=Yardbarker.com (linked here), where Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb likes to go to vent.
