Wasn't there a line in that Will Smith concussion doctor movie that was basically "the NFL is so powerful they took a day away from the Church and it made it theirs."

The Pac-12, who has continuously shot itself in the foot for what feels like the last decade, decided to try to pay off the LA Times for positive coverage until Times staff called out the deal and they killed it.

Hmm, interesting https://twitter.com/ShutdownFullcas/status/1289286368242413568 On another note, when does the "furlough" end for the SBNation folks who got axed?

It's definitely coming back, they have all been dropping hints about it on Twitter for weeks now. Just a matter of where. Wonder if Holly and Ryan's sbnation contracts are up soon?

Wonder if Holly and Ryan's sbnation contracts are up soon? i don’t doubt that vox would be more than happy to shed as much cfb staff as it can get away with; that or maybe sbnation is willing to part with the fullcast and/or allow jason and spencer to appear as freelancers e: that’s a word salad, basically vox doesn’t care about cfb coverage and i’m sure they’re willing to either facilitate or at the very least not stand in the way of something happening

I mean, if I didn’t have a steady job, but had the email addresses of a bunch of people that just paid me and my friends for a story that was only described as “college football Western” I’d probably figure out how to make that my steady job.

I have no idea how this stuff works, what will the overhead of a site like The Defector be? I'm talking outside of salaries. How much does it cost to keep a site of that size up?

Well Holly and Ryan currently have jobs (Ryan is actually relatively high up in the company as far as I know) and they're also dropping tons of fullcast hints. I don't know if they're leaving, if Vox is just dumping all paid staff for college football, or if they'd be allowed to do an outside podcast (I assume no since it hasn't happened yet). But yeah I would be surprised if the others didn't wind up doing something like this, they already sent out a survey a month or so ago asking what people would be willing to pay.

A Fullcast without ads for other Vox podcasts would be nice.

there was one where some nerd voice vox dum dum apparently spends a half hour deconstructing a joke from some mediocre stand-up, and it seemed like the most excruciating thing possible.

Yeah, the Defector is going to need to keep a good libel attorney on retainer or they'll end up like Gawker.

Media orgs can get libel insurance. Gawker died because the suit was deliberately targeted to fall into a gap in coverage that left Gawker on the hook.

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:it wasnt a gap in coverage There’s a lot of other shady poo poo around that suit, including moving it to Florida to make sure the damages were felt as much as possible. Peter Thiel has enough money for the best of the best when it comes to aggressive lawyering. Only thing I can think of from Deadspin was the Favre stuff.

Drive into work was rough this morning. Don't think I've ever felt like crying for the entire 45 minute commute. Jamie was a stand up guy, witty and funny, kind and generous to others. So of course, this being 2020 and all, he had to die of loving colon cancer at 48 and leave his wife and 3 young kids.
