I CHALLENGE THEE posted:It's just dumb and not news. People from It doesn't claim to be news, either. ESPNw is just a blog/portal that focuses on women in sports. The headline wasn't really the best choice, but it's a post that reports on a topic, distances itself from a dumb viewpoint and then asks for comments.

I'm @jmhs by the way. Ben Kabak writes for one of the better Yankee blogs and yes, does tend to criticize Jon Heyman.

AOL is laying off a large portion of their staff at Fanhouse and turning over coverage to the Sporting News, effective in March.

The weird part about that is that TSN killed The Sporting Blog in hopes of a buyout that never happened. For those who don't remember Fanhouse at its start was a collection of the best of the best bloggers. Then they dumped 90% of those guys and went to a model where they hired newspaper retreads (Jay Mariotti, Lisa Olson, Kevin Blackistone), but a few genuinely good writers snuck in there, especially with all the recent layoffs. So now there's Yahoo, with the model of one elite blog for every sport. SBN has a few of the old Fanhouse crew too, and they're trying, but still have a long way to go and are more focused on SEO and traffic than the content-driven Fanhouse was.

Dan Shaughnessy wrote an article about the Pats losing yesterday: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2011/01/17/title_march_stops_short/?p1=News_links Because it's Dan Shaughnessy, he mentions baseball in the second sentence. Also the Pats get called chokers several times. Great article, Dan.

I'm fairly ignorant about the subject, but is Grady Little still reviled for keeping Pedro in? Was he wrong to keep him in? Am I an idiot?

Here's an article about noted rear end in a top hat A.J. Daulerio that makes him look like...well...an rear end in a top hat. I'm just going to link it because it's long: click There's some quotable stuff you can pick out of there. My two personal favorites: Will Leitch being so seemingly disgusted by what Daulerio's done with the site that that the two don't talk about Deadspin anymore, and the revelation that Daulerio kept a video of what might have been a rape on Deadspin for about a day.

Not just the blog, but a whole network of blogs (including a good basketball one that Shoals from Free Darko posted on all the time). Also, didn't Daulerio post the infamous Erin Andrews peeper video? I'm sure I saw it linked on there when it first came out.

leokitty posted:What the gently caress was the video in question For the rest of the afternoon, Daulerio and the woman traded five e-mails. Finally, before handing the matter off to Darbyshire, Daulerio wrote, "It's not getting taken down. I've said that. And it's not a very serious matter. It is a dumb mistake you (or whomever) made while drunk in college. Happens to the best of us." The next day, though, he and Darbyshire decided that removing the video was "the best course of action," Darbyshire says. But by then it had migrated to other sites. And a couple of days after that, Daulerio received a panicked call from the girl's father. "He had this basic breakdown on the phone," Daulerio recalled. "The guy is like, 'You gotta understand, I've just been dealing with watching my daughter get hosed in a pile of piss for the past two days.' " Daulerio now says he wishes he hadn't run the video. "It wasn't funny," he says. "It was possibly rape. I was trying to kind of put it in that same category [as the Dallas video]. I didn't really look at the thing close enough to realize there's maybe something a little more sinister going on here and a little more disturbing."

The article also makes it sound incredibly misogynistic. "At first I was all, "gently caress, you, you dumb oval office, you're getting what you deserved. But I had never stopped to consider what her father might be going through."

The GQ piece on Daulerio is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I see the piece as attempting to connect the pieces between sports culture and the general depravity Daulerio seeks and receives on a daily basis. I find things to like and dislike about Daulerio, but instead of passing judgment on him I will say that he comes off as someone who has jumped down the rabbit hole only to find no bottom. He keeps falling and falling.

LARGE THE HEAD posted:The GQ piece on Daulerio is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You could basically say the same thing about the entire Gawker network. It's all salacious tabloid crap for the lowest common denominator. Will Leitch at least had some semblance of talent, Daulerio is just a legitimately creepy dude. Deadspin's readers are even worse, the mailbag they do is loving disgusting. But Gawker is read more now than ever so what do I know

King Kaufman left Salon to work at Bleacher Report, he is the "manager of writer development". Good luck to him but unless they're going to start paying people I don't see how the quality will improve a whole lot. quote:After 14 years as a writer and editor at Salon, I have signed on at Bleacher Report as manager of writer development. My main job here is to try to help improve the overall quality of the writing. There is also some rumbling that this happened because Google said they're going to start docking content dump sites in the rankings.

It's a shame, because everyone now and then something good will pop up on there. It's always just at the bottom of a heaping pile of poo poo. Unless they start straight up removing the tons of lovely writers, it's always gonna have that stigma

They do pay some people, but not many (mostly people at the very top of the chain). Also, now they have content sharing agreements with something like six newspapers and CBS Sports. It's starting to become a worry of mine that they're going to start selling their content - written on the cheap, if paid at all - to fill space in newspapers.

It would not have such reach and influence if the plug was pulled like it should have been years ago. Kaufman is so far in over his head he's going to drown. The biggest way to improve the quality of BR writing is to improve middle-school and high-school English classes.
