Machochip launched a measly two months ago, but we’re coming out in 2008 with a rocket stuffed in our pants. The Big Lead recently posted “What’s In and What’s Out for 2008” and we thought we could come up with our own, Machochipian version. Considering we like to concentrate on the Latino-ish side of sports and all, if you haven’t noticed, we thought our list would be, you know, a bit different from the usual. We also decided to include some non-sports items because we can.
