Grantland so far

I like site very much. Simmon's has shown bredth of knowledge on every sport.

Its the kind of site that you go to sleep thinking about.

Troll, ignore him

 

I'm different. Give me lots of money.

 

With the state of newspapers and magazines, I can see why ESPN threw money at this...could be the ground floor of a successful new online format. Only time will tell.

 

As is, the format of Grantland could only survive as a boutique to a larger sports store. Reading it, you would think the top - and only - story in America is the women's world cup. Of which I don't think you'd see a word if it wasn't splashed all over ESPN.

 

Funny, nothing in Grantland yet about one of biggest trending sports/ culture stories of the week-- the ESPN suspension of Bruce Feldman.

 

"How I got ESPN/Grantland to fund my eating and drinking habits"

Hopefully his next review is of salads.

 

Some good stuff on the board today.

 

I go to Grantland every day and I have to sift through its content to find something that I enjoy reading. Nothing has truly resonated with me yet, but I enjoyed Chris Suellentrop's piece on the Sprint Center and a recent Sasha Vujacic-Maria Sharapova celebrity couplings piece (hey, it appealed to the pop culture junkie in me). Not necessarily trend stories, but more human interest/nostalgia/trendiness. Regardless, it's still in an experimental phase. It'll find direction and an audience.

 

Wow, SEC Guy, that's a dick move.

 

Yeah. That's some miserable bullshit.
