The Niche:
Baseball, basketball, and football coverage with a heavy dose of Philadelphia.
The Story:
The Recliner GM is the real deal if you are a major sports fan. It may come with a heavy Philly influence, but its 2 authors Dannie and Pete won't just stop there. In only 3 months in the blog industry, they conjured up a Google PageRank of 4 which is practically unheard of. (Of course they just forfeited that by switching to their own domain. Doh!)
The authors, Dannie and Pete each bring a huge sports background to the table which is obvious in their writings. Dannie played college basketball and Pete worked for the Phillies for 2 years, so from that you can tell these are some serious sports fans. Also take note that Dannie works in the marketing industry and Pete just absolutely is obsessed with sports. The two of those things together make up for a pretty kick ass blog I would say.
Their writing styles at times can be playful but these 2 really give it to you straight. As I said before, a ton of the coverage is Philadelphia influenced but you would never feel disgusted by it. They are true fans but show great professionalism with this site.
A few posts to check out:
They finally moved to their own domain and are dealing with the issues that brings but don't expect things to change at the Recliner GM. That PageRank and those stats will be up in no time as this is a solid player in the sports industry.
This is definitely a site to throw up in your reader and pay attention to. You can practically feel the great things happening here.
Also look to Dannie's special basketball site, Hoops State of Mind and maybe even another site in our niche?
(Second review in a row with my Entrecard ad on it. Wee!)

Kellex - great review, thank you. Couldn't have said it better if I was plugging the blog myself.
