As I've mentioned before, I love Grantland! The Bill Simmons-led website continues to churn out quality content. If you haven't visited the site lately, here is a good place to start browsing what they have to offer: It's a week-in-review post that highlights some of the best pieces they've run in the last seven days. Along with those articles that are featured, I've listed some more of my personal favorites that you might also enjoy...
CATCHING UP WITH THE WWE: I used to be a huge WWF fan (DX, in particular) and it seems Vince McMahon and his company are making a comeback. Grantland has a writer on the staff named David Shoemaker, a.k.a. The Masked Man, who does a nice job of explaining what they've been up to lately with the CM Punk angle. Great stuff!
Also, Bill Simmons just came out with a gloriously entertaining piece on his top WWE ring entrances and theme music of all time. It's a must-read for any wrestling fan, past or present!
KLOSTERMAN STILL ROCKIN: It's a treat to enjoy regular columns by Chuck Klosterman on Grantland, I really like his ideas. Recently he took a YouTube clip of Led Zeppelin playing live in 1979 and examined it in depth. That's the kind of stuff you don't find a lot of places on the Web, and it's right up my alley. I'll probably do something similar here in the RATASS before long!

Chuck Klosterman just wrote a new piece, this time analyzing a GREAT performance of Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein". It is hilarious! A definite must-read. I love that kind of stuff. Here is the link:
