Duff McKagan also runs his own financial management firm. Based on his stance in that article his clients must all be going bankrupt.

Groucho Marxist posted:Wait why does ESPN have a music section The same reason Lynn Hoppes has a job with ESPN. A small subset of people for whatever reason go to ESPN for entertainment news. Hoppes, by the way, is my old professor and author of literally the most shameless piece of poo poo assemblage of words in the history of ESPN. Seriously, just flip through this guy's article history on ESPN. It's incredible that's hes paid.

ESPNw, ESPN Music, and Page 2 all hang out on the fringes, and they occasionally co-brand articles with E-Ticket, E:60 and Outside The Lines. I actually really like the co-branded stuff, since they go all-out with the feature design and occasionally have some really terrific writing.

http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=7126005 like, what the gently caress is this, lynn how does this possibly warrant coverage? the amount of clicks on these stories can not possibly justify ESPN actually paying someone to write them.

Was Jose Canseco always insane or did he lose his mind after his days in the majors? I mean, I remember all his shenanigans and maybe it's just the internet giving him a voice but every so often (like today) he completey flips his poo poo on Twitter.

There's not a ton of hard-hitting pieces but the quality of reporting is top-notch. Their stuff on women's basketball has been excellent, especially the all-access pieces on Stanford's team.

Yeah Lebron never takes the tough shots except for that playoff game for the Cavs when he hit the last like, 30 points.

Speaking of Adrian Wojnarowski, I just got finished reading his book about the 1992 Duke/Kentucky game. Really really good book. Has the book been mentioned in this thread and I missed it? If so, I'm sorry.  But if it has, it bears repeating: Really solid book. It'd be especially good to read right before March Madness starts.

Goddammit Woj. e: The poo poo that gets me is the language he uses. Like it's some mark against his MASCULINITY that Lebron attempted to pass the ball. And that poo poo is being propagated by this guy

When I see the footage of LeBron with the little boys and girls, I am both sickened and enraged. Idi Amin: I'm watching LeBron James, the last king of Cleveland, using children as props, as ornaments, as moral deodorant. You want to stay, whore, stay. You want to go, whore, go. But spare us an hour of ESPN eunuchs lapping your scrotum while you void your bowels and bladder on the only fans who'll ever love you like a member of the tribe. Or do you need this charade? Is it fun and exciting? Nice shirt, rear end in a top hat. Nice neck beard. South Beach? When did the Heat move to South Beach? What a grotesque and bloated parody of a man you turned out to be. Nothing but a bum. That's the mot juste: bum.

I'm pretty psyched to read this book, but it was written by Gene Wojciechowski, not Adrian. I think Woj is a solid reporter- he's pretty good for breaking NBA news - but I don't care for his columns, they're usually slamming David Stern or LeBron or someone and it gets boring after a while. And his book about high school basketball is pretty good, too.

Woj is far and away the best NBA reporter going right now, but he's written at least two "Why LeBron James is a jerk face who has destroyed sports and peed on my shoes" columns a month for two solid years now and they're all terrible

Also I remember a few years ago, LeBron passed to Daniel Gibson at the end of a Pistons/Cavs playoff game and Gibson missed the game-winner. Everyone threw LeBron under the bus, saying he should have took charge and been a leader. Then a few games later LeBron had that 48-point game where he was the only Cav scoring late in the fourth and at all in overtime and a bunch of people called him selfish and a ball hog.

I'm pretty sure that everybody was mostly just incredibly impressed by the 48-point game. I don't remember any legitimate criticism.
