So SBNation is making a big push for its bloggers to post video content. They launched Youtube channels for almost every individual blog. The results? Well, see for yourself.

ButtView posted:Shutdown Fullback seems like it could be pretty good once Hall gets used to being on camera. The NFL Draft bit in their first one was funny. This is the only video series I have hope for. Everything else? Uh, stick to the written word. SBN backfired spectacularly here.

ESPN, for whatever reason, is ranking the best 500 players in baseball. Here's the bottom 100. This will end well.

Here's part 2 of the 500 list. I love that Hong-Chih Kuo, the guy that just got released after putting up an ERA of like 40, is the 367th best player in baseball.

Here's Jeff Sullivan's take on the Dinger Machine. Not much that we didn't already know, but I'm fascinated to see how this plays out in the regular season.

Rob Neyer has a video mailbag now. I seriously can't get over his lazy eye. E: I'm about 5 minutes in. I know premiere episodes are always rough but there are way too many jump cuts. Rehearse your lines, Rob! Benne fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Apr 26, 2012 |

MourningView posted:I like Shutdown Fullback now that Spencer has gotten used to being on camera, but it is pretty slim pickings beyond that. Yeah, that show is great. They had an uphill battle launching a new show during the driest period in college football, but they made it work. The Clemson video had me in stitches. Ufford and Rubenstein are pretty good too, but I think they're limited by the short 4-minute format. If they did a weekly 30-minute Floor episode, they'd have much more time to bounce off each other, which is their biggest strength. It could be like PTI or ATH if the hosts actually liked each other. But I think SBN is demanding daily, constant content, so we get these watered-down segments instead. Also, Amy pulls great interviews. The channel has more potential than I thought, but they still need to iron out the rough edges.

morestuff posted:People get very, very angry if you take away their sports, and they'll switch providers if you try to take it away from them. They don't get as pissed if you take away White Collar. I'd be interested to see how much cable subscriptions spiked when ESPN got the MNF contract. That's a loving American institution, and I guarantee enough people got pissed at ABC losing it that they got cable just to watch it. Admittedly, it may be a wash since NBC got SNF to fill the OTA primetime void. Benne fucked around with this message at 07:23 on May 3, 2012 |

So Jeff Sullivan left Baseball Nation to become the 483rd writer on Fangraphs. This increases the number of good and/or interesting FG writers to...1? Maybe 2, if you're the type that hate-read's Cameron's stuff. Meanwhile, Al Yellon still has a job for some reason.

In general, most of SB Nation's team blogs aren't too bad, and even the weakest ones are just forgettable at worst. But every so often, someone squeezes out a turd that wouldn't hack it at B/R. I bet you couldn't even guess what team it's about! http://www.patspulpit.com/2013/1/20/3898408/ravens-vs-patriots-what-we-learned-from-the-afc-championship-game

In light of Rick Reilly's latest piece of poo poo column, Deadspin friendly reminds us that he used to be a brilliant writer http://deadspin.com/5295590/rick-re...dium=socialflow I wonder when was the exact moment Reilly stopped giving a poo poo. Even before he took the millions at ESPN his SI columns were on a steady decline for years.
