I'd love to be a fly in the wall in that newsroom. OK, maybe not. But I am curious about Ramos' plan here. I understand the concept of going all-digital, finding younger talent who better fit the tools and asks of the current media environment. Moving on from as much experience, as fast as they...

Fair Labor Standards Act, FYI. Read.

I don't know if I'm surprised or not. BR has assembled a decent crew for its NFL coverage. I had heard about Cole a while back. They seem to have a lot of big/good names trending there now. What's weird to me is the amount of Football Outsiders guys that seem to be either going to BR or...

Pretty big deal here. Wonder where he's going? Don't blame him for resigning from SOE, assuming he's upgrading to more stable situation. I wouldn't want to be the NFL guy at a MLB-run operation that just got done doing what SOE did over the last month.

For what it's worth, I remember reading a feature on Indiana basketball history from one of the star's young guns. Guessing he's a next-gen answer to the housecleaning here. It was really, really good. Seemed like a talented guy. They're losing a lot of talent, true, but wouldn't be surprised if...

I'm too lazy to look this up, which pretty much says it all about my career prospects. But isn't Stephen Holder a Floridian Ramos add?

If your direct traffic ain't your primary source of traffic, and by a wide margin, you're probably playing for relegation anyway.

I highly doubt social traffic drives THAT many pageviews, or enough to make a huge difference anyway. It's part of the pie, I'm sure, along with direct traffic, search referral, partnership deals, etc. But I would wager SOE's problem is that it isn't driving enough direct traffic and not...

And this is what I'm getting at, too. It's not what I/you want. It's not suggesting that the "premium" consumer is dead. It's not suggesting that there is no audience. It's about recognizing the shift in audience and being realistic about investment vs profit prospects for that kind of content...

Does anyone really have the attention span for Klosterman in a mobile world, though? Not dismissing the thought at all, just asking. I think we're going to see more and more mobile content shift visual. Less text, more graphics, infographics, videos, moving images, etc. The emphasis will be on...

I think the key is that you have to have good work out there, to be obvious. Paid, unpaid, whatever. It's an interesting (or maybe sad or confusing or ever-shifting or frustrating) environment these days. Seems like a lot of known, paid quantities have been devalued. At the same time, there is...

I don't think SB Nation deals primarily with full-timers, at least for their longform work. Can almost guarantee that is all freelanced worked. Really good freelance work, granted.

Is Benoit still writing for them? Maybe unrelated to the exact question at hand, just curious. But yeah that's still a small core contingent, and I still don't know that Klemko is a major name - not a knock on him or his ability, just still relatively new to the scene - so I expect that...

Not only that, but how expensive could MMQB's writers really be? Obviously King commands a lot of $ I'm sure, but that's absolute market price and he's the face/chief/brains/brawn/everything. I'm sure Bedard isn't cheap. But meaning no disrespect to their talent, because they are very talented...
