Web Watch: Kevan Barlow

Athlete web pages. A trend that's starting to pick up, but probably not the way those superstars (and even superstar hopefuls) envisioned. They see dollar signs and sponsorships; we see over-inflated egos and perfect heckling material. Is it possible to have one of these without coming off as a pompous, self-involved tool? Every Thursday, until I can't find any more, we'll look at a (sometimes ex-) Bay Area athlete's site to find out...

Athlete: Kevan Barlow
Website: www.kb32.com

The Skinny: Apparently Kevan goes by KB or "Showtime," an unquestionably appropriate nickname if the show he's referring to is The View. Probably needs to put a call in to his Web guy because the site doesn't reflect his move to New York, even though the news section does. If he weren't so disappointing as a running back the site, which features a fairly comprehensive bio and statistics, might actually be interesting. KB decided to add a calendar even though it's nothing more than the Jets schedule. I wonder where "alienate star FB" and "call coach dictator" go?

Best Quote: "Kevan enjoys touching the lives of people around him in a positive way."
