lol this reminds me that Barstool's college basketball writer vomited out a column built entirely on a fake Britney Griner quote, then smugly doubled-down when called on it being fake. But because it's Barstool, he wasn't let go, and the Big East featured him on a livestream Q&A just this week...

"Reporter." Sure. These Cox sites are aggregation mills.

Sarcasm? Anyone who's ever seen John Rocker's Twitter knows he doesn't need baiting to act like a piece of ****.

I'm unfamiliar with the others and can't really comment on them, but this is sentence is staggeringly disingenuous. "Support for North Carolina bathroom law" makes it seems as if he was punished for offering innocuous or even substantive approval. What he actually did was spread around a meme...

Can anyone provide examples of an ESPN political agenda (beyond giving Caitlyn Jenner an ESPY)? I'm genuinely curious, as I don't watch the network outside of game coverage and have only ever heard or read references to said agenda in vague platitudes.

Well, you see, Clay Travis is a hacky carnival barker and snake oil salesman.

Homerism has been a pretty obvious edict from management at ESPN the last few years, and it doesn't take an Awful Announcing column to see it. I started listening to the ESPN College Football Podcast years ago, when Ivan Maisel and Beano Cook hosted. Then, in the last few seasons, a guy who...

I am credentialed and available for both the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowls in San Diego. I have an extensive resume available upon request, along with clips. Please direct message me for more information. Thank you.

SB Nation gets advertising revenue and Vox Media received VC, which pay the salaries, via traffic. A ton of that traffic comes from unpaid or lowly paid bloggers pumping out content to inundate search engines and social media platforms. Ergo, pyramid scheme. Of course any industry will pay...

I don't care if it's harsh. It's reality. I'm sick of outlets run by wannabe tech iconoclasts who know nothing of and care not for journalism using exploitative wage models that **** up the market as a whole. As easy as it is to say, "Go do something else," the cheapened cost of labor has made...

Burma, back-packing through the American West, driving race cars at the Super Bowl. It pays to not pay!

SB Nation is a pyramid scheme. It has a handful of people on the top who make livable wages, and who get sent "on assignment," and then swaths of site bloggers who make between 0 and low-three digits a month. The army of low-level bloggers inundate Google, Facebook and Twitter with content...

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/14/sports/bill-simmons-hbo-any-given-wednesday-ringer.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0 New York Times post-mortem opens with a lede that speaks to a huge problem in the industry right now, and the saddest part of Simmons' failure. This is true. He was also not a...

CBS dumped millions into Jim Rome. Disaster. Fox is paying ESPN castoffs seven digits to get five-digit viewership. HBO gave Simmons millions. The TV end of it was a disaster. Best case scenario, maybe this leads to more focus on establishing The Ringer. Sports media needs more places for...

Something that amazes me about this case is how little effort was seeming put into finding the source of the leak. The $30 million beneficiary is a huckster whose done all he can to stay in the spotlight, and has a track record of being full of ****. The tape was filmed at the home and with the...
