VENICE, CA--(Marketwire - June 21, 2007) - With breaking stories and irresponsible
conjecture, eTrueSports.com (www.etruesports.com) is a brand new website
which gives readers a freshly skewed view of the sporting world and the
characters who inhabit it.
Tiger Woods 1-Day-Old Daughter Signs Endorsement Deal With Gerber
Disbarred Duke Prosecutor Nifong To Appear On American Idol. Simon Cowell
Says "He Can Sing and Cry. He's Unbeatable."
Steinbrenner To Donate Yankees to Charity: Bill Gates Will Replace Torre
Such provocative headlines and the meaty stories that lurk beneath are the
hallmark of eTrueSports.com which launches today with the unabashed boast
of becoming the "indispensable one-stop shopping site for the inside scoop
on all things sporting."
Well, not really.
You're not likely to find any real scoops at eTrueSports.com. It's a
website that features affectionately satiric articles parodying real sports
news and the players, owners, and other buffoons who make that news. Witty
writing, powerful visuals and, according to Editor-in-chief Frank Coffey,
"surround-sound when available" are highlights of a site committed to
taking scraps of truth and turning them into absurdist nonsense.
"Launching on the summer solstice, June 21st, will allow readers the
maximum daylight in which to enjoy eTrueSports," said Coffey, "thus saving
energy and helping reduce harmful greenhouse gases."
eTrueSports' motto promises Semper vigilante (Always vigilant) which should
strike fear in athletic miscreants, but probably won't.
About eTrueSports
eTrueSports.com is a daily Web publication offering objective (some might
say spoofish), reality-based (some might say fabulistic) reporting and
commentary on sports from a team of award-winning journalists (some might
say malcontents) who write funny and don't take direction very well.
