Didn't he start off as the Boston sports guy?
While he may not be a nice guy to know (opinions seem to vary) I really like everything he does, and think Grantland is one of the smartest most interesting sites on the web. I see it lasting maybe another year without Simmons; but I think he'll get some nice money from somewhere else to do something roughly similar, or he'll become another Adam Carolla, whose podcast nets millions a year. As long as he's less of a piece of [expletive] than Carolla, he'll be okay.

Body Issue, it's like the ESPYs--nobody cares but ESPN is going to plug the sweet merciful crap out of it. God bless those people and their science bodies. I don't care to see it. It's not sexy and the only thing interesting about it is how they manage to keep all wangs, nipples and snathes out of the shot.

I'm with you. I'm good with not seeing that crap. Very few good looking women in there. They try pretty hard with scantly clothed girls and air brushing.MrSaigon wrote:Body Issue, it's like the ESPYs--nobody cares but ESPN is going to plug the sweet merciful crap out of it.

Re: ESPN
So can anyone find what they want on the new ESPN.com site? Quite possibly the worst organized layout in the history of the interweb.

I don't mind the design, but AdBlock Plus is a REQUIREMENT now.

Re: ESPN
Sometimes all I want is to catch up on general sports news. It used to be easy on ESPN.com--there would be 10 or so Recent News stories out to the right side. Now there's so many things going on all over the screen that I can't find just regular ol' news stories. Sometimes I think I find one, but nope--it's just a video of SportsCenter covering that story. [expletive] you ESPN. Don't you realize some of us are trying to waste time in boring meetings on our iPad's and don't want a video all of the sudden playing?Jocephus wrote:what are you looking for?
