Demerits to the new O's logo for not using the cartoon bird, but that's a fairly faithful reproduction of Camden Chat's previous logo so maybe they just didn't want to switch up too much

Reilly predicted the Super Bowl to end 35-34 in OT today, btw (ESPN backtracked it after the fact to be 35-34 in regulation). To do that, both teams need to get 32 points in regulation, which is no simple task. The three easiest ways: 4 TDs with 4 successful 2PCs 3 TDs with 2 successful PATs + 4 FG 4 TDS with 3 successful PATs + 1 FG + 1 safety Then in overtime, Team A needs to score a FG on the first possession, Team B needs to drive to Team A's goal line, and then Team B has to turn the ball over to Team A then tackle Team A's recovering player in his own endzone for a safety, at which point Team B still loses the game. That is how you get a 35-34 score in overtime.

Their majority demographic is low info white males, so no Drudge was really necessary This can also be seen in how their internal comment flagging system has an entire category for misogyny directed at their female reporters/personalities.

Bob Gibson's transformation over the last few years from a hyper competitive rear end in a top hat with fantastic command who owned the inner part of the plate and threw at people to make a point into some kind of demi-godlike enforcer of Playing the Game the Right Way, especially among jerkoffs who weren't around to see any substantive part of his playing career like that dude, has been kind of funny to watch I think this is the second or third time I've seen him namedropped as someone who would interrupt a play, sometimes even while the ball was live, to start a fistfight or brawl with an opposing player over perceived disrespect, which is just incredibly insulting to Gibson Crion fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Oct 18, 2013 |

I have to watch a bunch of baseball for my job and around the middle of the season I started cursing the sport and all its component pieces. Watching baseball at the end of the regular season to see how cup of coffee guys were doing once rosters expanded took actual discipline. Do anything as a job and eventually it becomes actual work That dude's nuts though

The Lueke thing in Seattle was one of the first real warning signs of the Jack Z tenure, because it involved him lying to ownership about Leuke's past (whether actively or by omission) until the media got a hold of the story, at which point he disavowed all knowledge and ordered his director of player personnel at the time to fall on his sword for supposedly not giving him all the information.

Drew Magary is essentially an op-ed guy for Deadspin, there's nothing inconsistent at all about him having a different take on the Lebron situation than another Deadspin staffer and the site running them both side by side.

I hunted this quote down because I had to see in what context Peter King was allowed to write about baseball, and as bad as this is, it's got nothing on the fact that King is so impressed with himself and his own thoughts that he used letter headings to triple the size of his Ten Things I Think vanity segment (item 10 is composed of 20 sub-headings labelled "a" through "t")

Spoeank posted:It's a billion words to say, "hey nerds thinking B/R is going to give you a job for your '10 Best Things About Being a Fan of the ACC' slideshows, you're way wrong. They want writers from ESPN, not your dumb rear end." B/R's business model is essentially, "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" This is essentially correct, but as someone B/R tried to woo away from a competing outlet to write for them full time, please don't misunderstand: they're just as terrible at trying to get people in the actual industry to work for them as they are horrible to the kids who are writing for them for free. Laughably dysfunctional company with no idea what it's doing from top to bottom, with a "contract review board" that's constantly undermining its own (mostly terrible) editors. edit: well, that's not fair. They know what they're doing, they're just trying to pretend they're doing something else. You know in alien movies when an alien bodysnatches a character and tries to get by pretending to be people but everyone can tell there's juuuuust something not quite right? That's Bleacher Report's relationship with the actual sports media industry.

All but three SoE contracts were terminated: Leitch's, Tanier's, and one of the mid-level editors. Part of the reason no one knew what was going on until late in the day is because they fired literally the entire LLC save three guys, of whom only one was in-office and could effectively communicate with the ex-staff. That's basically all I have to say on the matter in public, besides the fact that this was a decision made at the faceless, inhuman business complexity level far above anyone's heads at SoE, including the guys who are still there.
